I am always a bit surprised at the cost of food and lodging in Oz. Expensive room and pricey amenities–and rather Spartan, but am certain the entire event was fun for you both. I loved the hot pink lighting on the food–made me smile.

Yikes, $50 for parking your own car…that’s crazy, at ludicrous prices like that, there’s nothing wrong with passing on a $20 G&T. Family that work in hospitality sure comes in handy don’t they, I should know I’m one of them =P

Axis of Awesome are fantastic, aren’t they? I saw their show earlier this year. So funny and so talented.

The prices are crazy, but it did look like a decent room. And four people with the same dress – they must have all died when they saw each other!

Wow that’s quite the dress! it is lovely though but I will think twice about buying and wearing it at large gatherings although it looks too long for me anyway. Oh yes minibar prices are outrageous aren’t they? I did once see potato chips for $10!

LOL you’re so funny Charlie doesn’t matter if pictures weren’t good because I bet they were good even though it’s a shame they didn’t come with any veggies like you i find it a little too much just to have meat and starch i get really bloated hehe

I also love the sound and look of the dessert what a great ‘staycation’ to be able to stay in a hotel for a night! I wanna do that soon too hehe

Gosh you could probably get five nights in Bali with breakfast for the cost of that room. You really don’t get much bang for your buck in big cities do you. And what’s with the no porters, for that price they could surely employ someone to take you up to your room and turn the light on for you!

Glad the event was enjoyable and that you opted for green not blue, very funny.

What is it with these venues that don’t provide veggies?? I have been to these functions where the food is lovely but its like no-one eats greens? Anyway, at least you had a nice night to yourselves and a sleepin! Bonus

Hahaha…you tell a great story, Charlie! The dresses, the pricy mini-bar, the day-glo food…you can’t make this stuff up! Enjoy your week, my friend…I’m off to visit my parents again. Thank goodness doggie is on the mend 🙂

I have to admit I still long for the old Sydney Hilton, before the renovations a few years ago. It had character and charm.
Then again, I still call the Four Seasons, The Regent and the Shangrila will always be the old ANA in my eyes xx
