SpiritAngel77 Posted May 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2016 We stayed at the Parkroyal Hotel at Tullamarine, Melbourne the night before our flight to Adelaide in October last ear, I absolutely LOVED this hotel, the beds were sooooo soft, the food both in the restaurant and in room service was delicious, and sitting there just watching the planes come and go was relaxing. So I am tossing up whether to stay here again the night before we fly out to Sydney as we are staying at the InterContinental in Sydney the night before we go on the cruise! The only thing that is stopping me is money of course as we are staying in a suite at the InterContinental, so I feel that staying at another hotel might be too indulgent? The thing is, I want this holiday to be big, its my 40th Birthday, my son's 16th Birthday, and I'm also getting over having done chemo for Ovarian Cancer which resulted in a full Hysterectomy last year, so you can see why I want this holiday to be a memorable one. We aren't staying at any hotels on the way back, just catching the plane straight from the cruise. I just want this holiday to be out there! Fun, relaxing and active at the same time, plus it will be the last holiday for a long long time. So what I am trying to get at, is, would any of you do the extra hotel before Sydney or just go with staying in Sydney and let the cruise and the InterContinental be the holiday? I know its ultimately up to me, I would like input from anyone else. It also depends on what time the flight is, we haven't got that far yet, waiting on our passports to get here then we are booking the flight and travel insurance!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattle66 Posted May 26, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Can you do both? Maybe downgrade the room at InterContinental and add the room in Melbourne? If you can't do both I'd stick with the night in Sydney. It will be less stress about missing the cruise if there are any flight delays. Sounds like you have a great trip planned no matter what you decide. Enjoy:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazza_0712 Posted May 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Do it! You want this holiday to be big and it should. And while you're sitting in your hotel in Melbourne watching the planes come and go and hopefully sipping on a glass of wine, you'll be ever happy that you did. Enjoy!

SpiritAngel77 Posted May 26, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thank you all for your replies, I'm getting some quotes on flights today, so I was thinking if its an early flight, I will book the hotel, if its not an early flight then I will think about it, plus my son would love it, watching the planes go in and out, he's 15 and really into all things auto! Again thank you for your replies, and yes, life is too short so do the best with it you can!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
