The MEL-SYD-OOL option might be good as Richmond play the Gold Coast Suns in late July and that would be easy to manage. Thanks for your help!I suspect you mean DRW for Darwin?
Much easier to do MEL-SYD-OOL in J for 1400odd for 320 SC under DSC day can be done by 5:30pm
It's a pity an AKL F sale isn't on now like it was a few wesk back. $1700ish would have netted 480SC for a MEL-AKL-MEL daytrip on QF/EK.
My final question though justinf is - you wrote you see no international trips in 12-18 months so that's at least your next membershop year Jul 17-jun 18.. how many domestic trips would you have? would attaining Gold be that useful in terms of those trips? As in if you did say 3 or 4 dom roundtrips would the extra spend be worth it in terms of lounge access and so on provided by Gold? I'm suggesting there may be a cost/benefit analysis to the project? Not saying don't do it or anything.. totally up to you.. just wondering if the value would be there? That's a very personal choice of course
) so it's not front of mind, but yes "oh I'm going to AKL to do an overnight" suddenly can have different interpretations to the honest truth. And since those who don't understand the reasons for such a trip it makes more sense for them to think there's something else going on besides. ) and apart from complaining that I dragged them away from watching the Boxing Day test match (which I thought was hilarious) they were really good about it all. Anyway the point of this story is that they actually at one point when trying to understand why I went there for so short a time and to make it "work for them"actaully said to me "Look, it's OK if you just say you went there to.. you know.. see a prostitute" (!!!!) - as though somehow going 5,000 miles for a hooker made more sense than doing a status run (remember this was 14 years ago so things were a bit different). Well my mind kind of boggled at the whole concept, but it seemed from the way they were talking that this maybe was NOT so uncommon. I mean sure i've heard of "sex trips" to Thailand and the like, but going to HK for a day for a hooker? yeah well.. Anyway I said no that wasn't what I was doing. Gave them the truth showed them my FF cards and whatever and explained and they were OK with it and let me go. I had NO issue with what happened. Everyone did their job and were polite and friendly except the one customs person who was convinced I had drugs but hey they did their job and I was happy they picked up on the obvious unusual activity and investigated (luckily no rubber gloves or innocent status runners were harmed during the procedure!)....
Would love to but then it costs twice as much. Would much rather take her on a long weekend where we both just travel in Y and there's no pressure.
Good to her. This time in 2 weeks I will be a newly minted WP. First time. Does that make me a
