TomCat's Luxury Escape

blackcat20 · Oct 29, 2018

Yep April. And yep I've got the onesie

Booked for our included dinner last night. Originally booked for four people then attempted to add a fifth only to be told they were fully booked. A few hours later they called to say they had made room for the extra person.

Only four other tables were in use when we dined

While you don't get the full menu, you get decent Asian and western menus to choose from, and you can mix and match.

I had satay to start.

Veg green curry for main (boy was this hot!)

And chocolate cake for dessert.

You're supposed to save the very spicy stuff for the END of the pregnancy BC.

Errr, how did the embryo react to that little assault?

Congratulations @blackcat20 and @TomVexille

Will this be AFF's first offspring?

(this is the second message board I've been involved in - the other much smaller - that's resulted in marriages and babies

)

How's this for a fabulous sunset?

Well we're being driven to the airport in a Bentley

Too stunned to take a pic? Or because you didn't want them to think it was a novel experience for you?

St Regis lounge at the airport; small but comfy with drinks, fruit and a lolly bar.

What, no lolly bar in the Bentley?

I've been dropping hints across multiple threads for weeks

The “won’t be allowed to fly then” comment in the AKL dinner thread gave it away to me. Congratulations to you both, and all the best for a safe and smooth year ahead.

Water and wifi was more than ok.

Congratulations on the impending April arrival!

Monday night we treated ourselves to dinner in their over water restaurant Kayu Puti. We started off with sunset coughtails in the hammocks over the water.

coughtail of the day was a melontini.

Then we were escorted to a table inside for our meal.

You've obviously missed the posts about @JohnK 's daughter.

But TomCat’s child has both parents here. I think that’s the OP’s point. Many people have had children with just one being a member here but not both?
