business events news Here’s an idea!
Should you have a lazy $10,000, Sydney Company, My Sydney Detour, has a Valentine’s Day special for just one couple. It begins with a nights stay in a five star hotel, a champagne breakfast, romantic Detour to breathtaking vistas over Sydney, an extraordinary flight over the harbour, a fine dining lunch, a sailing experience on a 38ft yacht on the harbour until sunset with a yet to be revealed surprise. A pause back at the hotel to freshen up and a cheeky cocktail before an exquisite fine dining 7 course degustation meal with accompanying wines and dessert and a late check out of the hotel. Extras include a professional photographer to capture every priceless moment, a personal chauffeur and tour guide (driving the show piece 1964 EH Holden Premier) and available 24 hours during the unforgettable day. Australia Day comes first though so the next edition of BEN will be on Wednesday 30 January. Here's to a most enjoyable Australia Day - Jill.
