Oh ok cool. Do you know if it was a long wait for the Visa?

Hey what was your friends situation? Did they have to apply for a visa?

You're talking about a different thing (fingerprint check), I'm talking about National Police Checks (criminal record). I'm in NSW and the NSW police website says the following "Individuals requiring a criminal record check for Australian citizenship, residency, spouse visa, guardianship o...

Hey, my friend is in a similar situation, has a section 10 dismissal for malicious damage with no recorded conviction. They just got their National Police Check back and it is clear. You need to apply through the Australian Federal Police website, you'll get it back in a week or two. You select...

Yeah, one would think you didn't have to declare it, but unfortunately, there is no such thing as a "spent" conviction to the US. From what I've read they cannot access Police Records with spent convictions, so they wouldn't know about it unless you told them. I would just like to hear if anyone...

Nice shots! What camera / lens do you shoot with?

I'm also planning a 3 month driving trip around the USA, want to do it as cheap as possible of course... I would consider buying a car, does any one have any experiences they could share? I'm worried about it bombing out, where as with a rental you're covered for stuff like that.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good lightweight / small tripods for traveling?

jetlagger the TAMRON 18-270mm is a great walk around lens, I have used that in the past the zoom is really good for travel! I just bought a Canon 6D from DWI, I can recommend this for travel as it's lightweight, small (for a DSLR) has GPS and also WiFi so you can view and control it from your...

I stopped posting on Facebook and started using Flickr. Anyone use that too?

Thanks guys! ;)

I usually try not to be upset by travel mistakes as it's part of the experience ;)

Depends, I like the window because I won't be disturbed, and I'm good at climbing over sleeping people without waking them...

Nice photos! Does anyone here use Flickr?

Lagavulin. If Ron Swanson drinks it, it must be good.
