Good deal.

Maybe to Kuala Lumpur. There were return flights to there for around $390 (with luggage) but that special is over at present.

That's cheap bob.

We were going to go to NY for their Autumn cause there have been some cheap flights to the US the last couple of months but the dollar sucks.

So instead we are doing:

a week on a farm in Gundagai in October just to relax.

2 weeks camping/caravanning in Kiama in January.

2 weeks cruising the South Pacific in February.

Going to Japan and Hong Kong in 5 weeks time. Spend 5 days in Japan then fly to Hong Kong for 5 days and then back to Japan for 9 days. Our youngest son lives in Japan so he is coming to Hong Kong with us.

Flights to Hong Kong return were about $250 return so thought we would break up the time in Japan.

We go there twice a year to visit our son and thought this would be something different.

Amazing that it costs less to travel overseas than within our own country.

My oldest daughter is off to Thailand again in a few weeks. She loves it there, massages $10 for an hour, a little shopping, sight seeing especailly the elephant rides!

Maybe I will come visit you in Kiama lol.

We are doing the yearly spot at Easts with the caravan and a couple of tents for the kids and their friends. It's the best spot.

But if we only earned equivalent wages to those in the places Australians visit, they wouldn't be able to afford to go there either.

East's Beach Holiday Park, Kiama is a great spot for a family holiday (and no, I don't have an connections with it in case that looks like a promotion for it ).

Noosa at the end of October, I have nevver visited my brother there - its a far longer drive uphill (for him) much quicker for me to travel downhill. and a 3 week leisurely road trip to Sydney in January.

I was interested in going to Japan, but I'm a bit worried about the high radiation level still there.
