Winery Tour for the Laydeez

[The Monaghans]

OK, I've said it so now I'll put it into action. If I can get some numbers together I'll look into organising a tour of the wineries for us ladies (and I use the term loosely...) There's a company called Paramount Tour Services that specialises in this kind of thing so if you can let me know who's definitely interested I will make some enquiries. I think it will probably be best if we plan it for the New Year though, otherwise half of you will back out at the last minute with xmas parties/shopping etc. Let me know girls.

Hi Liz

 

I would definately up for that one - if you give me some dates I can make sure that Andy isn't working, sounds great

Hi Liz

 

You know I'm a wino so definitely count me in!

 

Please though can we go at the weekend or during school holidays?

 

Looking forward to it. If we do it in the New Year I think a new arrival (emmylou) will come on down too...

Yo Lady dudes

You can count on Deb being there, just a time and place and do you bring your own pint mug?

[suzer]

Ooh I'm jealous. I want all the details afterwards. I won't be back in time.

As I said - count me in.If its before the 16/1/07 - my sis is over and will come.She will drink you all under the table.

[Guest Roo1]

You know I'll be up for that one Liz! New Year is good for me. I'll have the MIL staying so I'll be more than happy to get away for the day.

Oh I had almost forgotton about that - not long now:biglaugh:

[The Monaghans]

OK, we're up to about 8 I think, fairly sure I can add a couple more. I'll sound them out at the weekend then start working out dates and prices etc. I'll reckon we all agree it will have to be a weekend, Saturday? I know damn well Richie won't book a day off work so that I can go out on the toot!

[Guest Roo1]

Yeah Saturday is good for me, I'm sure MIL, FIL and OH should be capable of looking after a 5 year old for the day (and probably Sunday as well, as will need another day to recover).

Liz, if there's not that many of us, how about checking out Limo prices as well. I hear they are quite reasonable. Maybe you'd like me to do that hun?

If we are going to do it girls, we could do it in style with our posh frocks on! Ha

 

 

 

 

 

[The Monaghans]

'kay. You check out the limos and I'll check out the buses. Haven't got a posh frock though...oh well, now I'll have to go shopping! Tra la la!!!

[Guest donna T]

Posh frocks and limos - cool!

 

Don't mind which way I go - bus or limo just so long as I don't have small ones pulling at me all day and I don't have to drive:D

 

Really lookiong forward to it - if it's after 23rd January, count my Mum in too - she will love it:jiggy:

 

See you all soon

[Guest Guzzler&Sas]

now then .....

this all sounds very exciting and i would love to come (parties permitting, so will need date as soon as anyone has it, then i can get something in my diary and not book a party!). Guzzler is just buttering me up for his next big weekend away fishing trip, so a day touring around the wineries, almost sounds like an even deal (well almost anyway!). Please count me in too, if there is room and end of January onwards sounds fab - get Xmas and our house move out the way. Limos, buses, posh frocks or just boardies and singlets (can you see I have the ozzie lingo now?) - whatever the dress code, sounds awesome!

 

Good one Liz ....

[The Monaghans]

No worries Sas! (I've got it too see?):biglaugh:

[foxychick]

I would love to come, not sure there would be a whole lot of point, can't drink at the moment, but might tag on and have just a couple.

 

I was going to offer to drive, but your numbers are too high now, and you probably wouldn't want to clamber in and out of my car in your party frocks!

 

I will keep an eye out for dates.

[The Monaghans]

Have got to ask the question Foxychick, why can't you drink at the mo? Can't imagine a worse torture than going to a winery and not being able to drink!! Anyway, haven't forgotten about this girls, will be conducting enquiries v soon, honest.

[Guest Yorkshire lass]

Hiya, I'm new to the site and l'm about to move over to the 'other side' on the 22nd of Dec with my 9 year old son to join my partner. I (we) don't know anyone and would love a little girly comaradarie (l can't spell either). But if you have room, l would love to come and meet you all. Jo

[The Monaghans]

Hi Jo, welcome to the site. Of course you can come, the more the merrier I say! Send me a pm when you're close to flying out and I'll give you my contact details if you like in case you want some help when you get here.

 

Best wishes

Liz;)

Well if I tell you I won't be drinking for the next 6 months either that would give it away

 

Yep, we have a little aussie surprise on the way - not the best timing, but getting a bit more excited now.

 

Hard as it is to visit and not drink, I could have a couple couldn't I? Hate to miss out me!

 

Catch up soon

[Guest deb and stoo]

Yo lady dudes

Deb really looking forward to it, so much so she's volunteered me to drive the mini bus if a non drinking driver is required sure I'll be rewarded in heaven:jiggy:

[Guest Roo1]

FoxyChick.......Congratulations!!! You know you can still come with us as shouldn't we all be smelling the bouquet and describing tones of toasted almonds...... Mmmm, maybe we'll get better at it the more drink???

 

AND

 

Jo, you couldn't have picked a better day to come to Aus, as its my little boy's 5th birthday on the 22nd December. 2 reasons to celebrate now!!

 

AND

 

Deb, we might have to take you up on the offer of a minibus driver as I need to get my finger out and see how much a limo cost (but judging by the numbers, its going to be more like a coach)

[Guest Roo1]

Lookie here. From $10 per person this looks a good deal.

[Guest Libby1971]

Hello M'Laydee (think Parker a la Thunderbirds)

 

Stonking Judi, I like it, I like it alot. I bagsee a seat facing forwards though coz after winery 3 I may not be well. I thought I should tell you this now rather than risk an embarrassing incident later.

 

No mention of Doritos though so it may not be a goer!!!

[Guest Yorkshire lass]
