Or I'll take stubssy to the AP and meet Nicole + kipper, then they drop their bags in my truck, I'll take those bags to my base while stubbsy and Nicole + kipper hop on a train to LP.
I'll tell stubbsy tomorrow morning when I meet him, pls. let me know so I can organize my time and other things.

Now that is an accessory I'd like to have. Would go nice on a car window with that SafariSack I've got now. :D Better not get it out before my birthday or else Tony might get grumpy. :lol:

Thanks Birddog! :D

Do you want to join with Nicole + Kipper at the AP? then I can pick you up at the F1 and straight to the AP. From there three of you or perhaps with stubbsy hop on a train heading to LP.

Just to throw a spanner into the mix, I intend on coming along to this Lavendar Bay & Bridge tour. If you fit in a Starlet, I'm happy to offer a lift.

OK, can I have a show of hands from those needing a lift from F1 to Lavender Bay?

I can take 6 others and I know Fozzie also is in need of a lift to the Shipyards. The shipyards are right on the way, so am happy to take him as well if numbers permit.

Please reply to this thread.

Cheers
Deb

To Lavender Bay:
I know: Nicole + Kipper + PW + stubbsy will hop on the train at the AP station.
Edit:
Remaining: Mudder, Digitor x 2, you have three pax at F1 + yourself.
+ fozzie to the shipyard.
I think that's all.

Excellent Birddog, my head was beginning to spin with who was going where.

If there is anyone not on this list whom would like to be, raise your hands now.

Is an 8am pickup OK? That should give us time to get Fozzie to the shipyards and find a park.

Onyx, is the starlet blonde or brunette?

It seems all are sorted for lifts, Stubbsy and train guys the station is Milsons Point on the North Shore line. When you come down the stairs from the platform, turn right in the tunnel then start walking down the hill towards the Bridge. When you hit the harbour, turn right and look towards the big face, we will be there :wink:

Been at a friend's place for dinner. A lot happens while you're away. Sounds like a plan. I know my way around the AP and station and should have no probs at Milson's point (says he bravely).

For Saturday there's a train that leaves AP at 8:12 arrives Milsons point 8:42 (change @ Central) or leave AP at 8:31 arrive 9:01 at Milsons point or if very late leave AP at 8:42 arrive Milsons Point 9:12

I'm leaving for Sydney in the morning (Friday) and will arrive there about 10:30 or so. I'm dropping a friend off in the city and will probably meet Matt at the airport before he picks up fozzie @11:30. Unless I sleep in in which case I'll go to birddog's for a pick me up.

Skies are very clear today, not a cloud to be seen, bridge has that moody black look it has at this time of the morning, max temperatue predicted is 18 degrees and we have the Australian and NSW flag flying over the bridge today. Look forward to seeing all down there. :D
