Thanks, Mattg. Appreciate the advice and appreciate the link, too.

Hi, Just wondering, if you had a choice of flying VA or QF BNE-PER return, would the catering on either be preferable? If timings and price are right, the QF A330 would edge the choice ahead.

An update....one holiday trip and one of the Antler Nimbus cases has a handle that won't retract smoothly. The luggage repair shop as suggested by Antler, expected the handle had been bent whilst collapsed by the airline baggage handlers dropping something on the bag. The baggage shop was...

Having interent problems at the moment but check out the SQ website, click on 'Plan Travel' then 'Boarding Pass Privileges.' We used it for the hop on hop off bus. Can't remember what else, sorry.

In Dec/Jan just gone, my wife and three daughters spent 6 days in SIN, had a two week cruise and then a further 2 days. Every day was comfortably full and each age group experienced a range of preferred activities yet all enjoyed everything. We could easily have filled a couple more days with...

Hi Kermatu, We actually had such a busy time in SIN we were exhausted on NYE. Had a late swim in a magnificent pool in our apartment complex and the whole family were in bed well before midnight.

Yeah, thanks LordGarlic. Maybe when we actually arrive we will have a better chance of knowing what our options are.

Thanks, Kermatu. Think we might just see what is happening in East Coast park which is within walking distance. Excitement building....we fly tomorrow.

Just checking....Am I right in expecting anywhere decent in Singapore will be really crowded, as with any Australian capital, on New Year's Eve? And the usual post-midnight public transport crush? We (family of five including teenagers) are staying in Siglap/Bedok. Any suggestions for NYE...

Hi All, Thought I would let you know that I recommend Crown Currency Exchange. I used the Aspley office but they have several throughout Brisbane, Gold and Sunshine Coast and also Mackay. This week was my second use of them and both times they gave me great rates and good service. I'd compared...

Hi, Just after clarification.... I received an email today saying my application for a Citibank Plus account has been successful and that a Citibank Visa debit card is in the mail to me. Is the idea that you load up the Visa card with AUD$$$ and just withdraw as needed in the local currency...

Thanks for the advice guys. Appreciate your input. Have just completed the on-line application for the Citibank Plus. Seemed straightforward especially with the fact that I currently have a Citibank card through another financial institution. Answer a few ID questions, print off a signature form...

Interested in the learned opinion of wise AFFers. At Christmas, visiting Singapore prior to a cruise sailing to Bali, coughet and some Malaysian ports, amongst others. What would people recommend in terms of finances...take cash..if so, which currency/currencies or get the Citibank Plus card for...

Hi, After some suggestions if people have ideas. Over the new year period the family will be Singapore. Whilst there, my wife celebrates a significant birthday. We will likely be doing the standard tourist attractions. Any suggestions for something memorable for the birthday/birthday girl? And...

Thank you all for your input. Thanks especially BillyTheFish. Have just ordered Antler Nimbus 3 piece set from Catch of the Day. Excellent savings and in a colour my wife likes.

Hi, It is time to update the family's luggage prior to our SIN visit and Asian cruise. Anyone have recommendations for on-line retailers or northside Brisbane bricks-and-mortar business for suitcases?

Hi, My watch is currently at the local watchmaker and it seems its condition might be terminal. I am heading to SIN in December. Any value in waiting until I am there to buy a new one? I would only be spending AUD $100-200.

Thanks, milboo. Yes, that's the one. I'd looked around but couldn't find a thread on it already. I would have rathered slightly restricted access to this degradation of viewing quality if they were keen to differentiate paid subscribers to free viewers.
