I'm wondering if you would be better off purchasing new car seats once you arrive? It is my understanding that only seats with an Aus Standards sticker can be used in Aus. I suspect the UK would have similar legislation. That would make your luggage slightly less awkward. Congratulations on...

Happy my birthday everyone!

My husband and I got married in Hawaii last year. I won't bore you with the details but my MIL hasn't spoken to us since early last year because we got married overseas. My FIL attended but he initially sided with MIL and wasn't going to attend. Whatever you decide to do at YOUR wedding you...

My Mum and I did a Hawaii Food Tour. The guide was great and we tried so many different foods. I recommend it to anyone who has a spare day on Oahu.

I'm a fan of Rum Fire at the Sheraton Waikiki. I prefer lunch time and relaxing with a burger and beer while admiring the ocean view. I've hiked Diamond Head a few times. Last year we caught a taxi there and The Bus back. When the track splits take the harder track up and the easier track...

I flew on the inaugural BNE-HNL flight and my return ticket was $954.94. Someone I chatted to on the flight said they met a couple who said they paid less than $700 for their return flight. That was apparently booked months ahead of the flight while mine was booked about ten days before the...

I lived in Honiara for six months a few years ago. I flew on both VA and Solomon Air between Brisbane and Honiara. One flight I was seated with a member of the SI parliament so was very well looked after. My suggestion is to hire a taxi for a a few hours and have the driver take you to the...

I have a friend who is a TA. When Qantas grounded the A380 fleet he had a client who was booked in J on an A380 flight from LA back to Oz. There was a small window where the TA was easily able to switch the client to a 747. This client was able to get get back to OZ while his colleagues were...

I enjoyed lunch and hot chocolate. We had plenty of food and it was delicious. The two hours went quickly. What impressed me was that the conversation flowed so well that everyone kept their phones away. It was lovely to dine with people who aren't constant phone checkers. I look forward to...

Brilliant plan!

My friends claimed my Sunday for high tea. Then shook up my plans and I'm flying home Sunday afternoon when they fly away. It's ages since I've been in Civic. My landmarks are the chess pit, the sheep and the cube opposite the theatre. Can someone suggest a meeting point that is easy to find...

My friends have taken over my Sunday and told me I now have plans for lunchtime. I'm thinking Saturday lunch is the new plan. I know Civic will be busy then but we'll be fine.

Sounds like we'd better shift to a different time on the weekend. Any suggestions?

If Sammy's is still as good as it was when I lived in Canberra then it's definitely an option.

When I looked them up I found two locations in Civic! Plus they have a Dickson restaurant. But no website.

I will be in Canberra soon and wondering if anyone wants to meet for lunch on [-]Sunday 6[/-] Saturday 5 April. The CBD Dumpling House has been suggested by one of our member's I chatted to on fb. I was thinking noon but that can move to a little later. Who is keen? Gold: MissBurrill get me...

I have visited Hawaii six times. I love having lunch at Rum Fire at the Sheraton in Waikiki. The burger is delicious, it washes down well with a beer and has a beautiful ocean view. I know you've said you're staying at the Hilton but I will mention Waikiki Beachfront Rentals. That's for...

I haven't been on AFF for a while and I come on this morning and find dinner tonight. At this stage I can attend, will see how my day progresses.

re: Christmas Drinks & Train Crawl Sydney to Canberra [Sat. 14 December] Thank you! I'll be staying with a friend in Canberra. Now to book flights.
