My last trip O/S was Utah and surrounds in the USA in March 2020, which was cut off by early departure due to a well publicized bug. Like many of us, international was gone but I am still finding hard to get enthused to re-engage given that the ongoing virus, and the issue in Ukraine is causing...

So my wife had a booking before all this latest Covid drama, fly Port Macquarie to Sydney, then onwards to Melbourne. A few days later in reverse, not hard. We have received emails re changes in the bookings, if you can work out how this will work, let me know. AUG xx Syd-Mel Dep 09:10 Arr...

I had previously started a thread called USA Canyons, however now that I am home and in self isolation I thought it a good idea to start a new thread from the outset, so here I go. My trip began on 9 March 2020, under the increasing spectre of COVID19 and the uncertainty of what was really at...

So my flight to the USA in March is booked, destination Canyon Country in Utah, Arizona and Nevada in March 2020. I tried to rustle up a companion amongst my peers but no luck, so I am going solo. Main purpose is reset my headspace after the loss of our daughter by way of getting back into my...

Hoping for some assistance. In October I will be traveling with my son and grandson to the USA. After going to Disney World we will be traveling to Washington then New York. We want to simply book one room with two beds, my grandson is 12, he is not my son's child but he will sleep with either...

A couple of quick questions. We are flying to New York late September, will be flying via DFW. Booked through QF, however the DFW to LGA leg is on American Airlines. Firstly do we pass through imimgration at DFW or at LGA. Secondly being that both flights are ticketed through QF, am I right to...

The end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018 was a period of intense grief for our family. Without going into details we lost a daughter and ended up with our then 10 year old grandson in our permanent care. As you would imagine this was a big adjustment for all of us, and in order to introduce...

So after a major disruption & tragedy in our lives, I have simply been a lurker on this site. I have posted a few previous enquiries about New Zealand, the trip is booked to the south island in 6 weeks. We are taking our grandson, aged 11 with us for his first overseas trip, and his first...

I have been absent from AFF for a number of months for a number of personal reasons, I am now pleased to be back. Our grandson (11) is now in our full time care, we recently got him a passport and we are taking him on his 1st real holiday in October to South Island NZ. Any good suggestions...

I am having difficulty getting an answer to this even from the passport help line. We tragically lost our daughter at Christmas time, she was a single mum with a ten year old son. There was never a biological father in my grandsons life, in fact we don't know a single thing about him and his...

How can I tell what date my membership is paid up to for AFF, can't seem to find the renewal date.

So around 15 months ago I decided I needed to get healthy, too many of us enjoy our lifestyle without monitoring our health. Nothing extensive but I use my lunchtime to walk, usually 100 klm per month. Recently turned 59, lost 6k last year at the same weigh as 21. How do you keep up with life...

Jumping the gun a bit here but with a busy week ahead I thought I would start this TR. 6 days to go before we fly out of PQQ to Sydney then on to the cruise terminal for our first overseas cruise. We depart Sydney late on Saturday for two days at sea before we reach our 1st destination. the...

Going to Mare, Papeete, Moorea & Bora Bora. Need to take some cash for incidentals and think ATM's might be a bit hit & miss. Talking about the local currency, the Pacific Franc. Any recommendations how much to take, only a day on each island.

Next O/S adventure is mainly on a boat, cruising to Hawaii then an 11 day adventure. Is it appropriate to post a TR when there is little aircraft travel?

I am seriously out numbered by many on this site as to the amount of times they travel overseas :mrgreen:, however I need to suck that up. I love recording our trips by the photos I take, many rejected, but many retained. Based simply on 0/S tours I have tagged 12,443 as keepers, and I think...

So I will put this out there, not really sure if this will proceed, but ask the question any way. I note a number of users on this site use sites like Homeswap & other sites but this is a bit different. Considering offering our home in Port Macquarie in April 2017 for the whole month to AFF...

We are cruising to Hawaii in April, 1st port of call Mare in New Caledonia. There is an interesting waterhole at a place called Medu, has anyone been here and the best method of transportation. Car hire in Mare does not pop up many selections. Thanks in advance.

Planning 3 nights Hilo, to explore Volcano Park and the night boat trip to view the lava flow from offshore. Then drive to Kona for two nights before a week on Oahu. Would appreciate any feed back for accommodation either Hilo or Kona, not worried about price will judge that ourselves. Thanks in...

Just wondering how long one should leave to depart the cruise in Oahu, through customs then on to flight to KONA. Ship is the Carnival Legend, up to 2400 passengers. I understand they allocate times to disembark.
