The Oz dollar today was buying $1.06 US. A record high!

Two years ago the Oz dollar would only buy $0.63 US!

Traveling DU still good value !

Well, here's to hoping we can get out there in November. Let's hope it doesn't go up too much higher or I'll have to beg like a kangaroo. 🙂

As I said B4 book through air NZ from San Francisco with a stop over in NZ then direct to Adelaide , thence to Sydney , thence to San Francisco.

Just checked their web site fares at moment, return fares to Melbourne quoted $A1,362 'til 14 sept which is bleeding cheap.

No change in Aldinga Beach accommodation $ rate.

How about if one wants to stop over in Hawaii first?? 😀 Hawaii to Oz! He can go to NZ. I'll stay in Oz and soak up the sun. Is Aldinga Beach warm?

Qantas once upon a time stopped as as a small matter of necessity as they needed to refuel...
