New Year's Eves
 

November ... October ... sometimes September! My friends begin talking early of New Year's Eve (NYE) plans. We argue for months over cost, location, attendance, value, etc. and most years we plan nothing and split into several groups. Amazingly, for the Millennium NYE, we managed to arrange a successful night with a large group. The other years, there have been a combination of parties, debacles and generally good memories.

The Millennium New Year's Eve (1999/2000)

We decided to go to Greenwood, North Sydney, to join 5000 other people who purchased tickets at a fair price. The night started ordinarily for half of us as some queue for hours. Luckily, Sal & I got in with relatively little wait and trouble. The rest of the night was terrific for all.

The alcohol was free and flowing (besides running out of coke!). The outside bars were unattended near midnight so people helped themselves and grabbed whole champagne bottles! The view of the harbour fire works was special and the photo below is around midnight (near the time I received far too many celebratory kisses!)

The night became my : Best ... New Year's Eve ... Ever.
