    Booked everything and good to go! The only thing I missed out on is the Crown tour of the Statue of Liberty, it is booked out well in advance and should have paid attention earlier.

    ING Direct - $75 Bonus (Round 2!)

    Having a bad day TheRealTMA? In case you missed it, the referral offers benefit both. Also, I dont consider this "phishing" and always happy to hear/read about an offer which benefits me and the referee. YMMV offcourse. About lack of bonus from ING, I am unable to offer any explanation to you.

    Will post a trip report and will try and update each day whilst on the trip! Just checked foreign cash with Australia Post, not bad at all and no fee as well.

    For my travels, I usually use 28 Degrees and Citibank Plus. Will checkout AusPost rates but I have always been happy with Citibank rates. Will be taking USD1 bills (plenty) for tipping etc. Apart from one family member are very easy to collect from. This one person takes their own time before...

    USA - March 2016 with big family group (Help needed)

    Yup, Single itinerary MEL - LAX - JFK and then JFK - LAX - MEL. Cannot change JFK - LAX as not enough seats in a single flight or the other option is pay approx $400 per person to make the change plus travel in separate flights. So, basically we are kinda stuck in this but again, should have...

    I have noticed that and it was weird at first as everyone was relying on me to arrange everything. However, I am enjoying it now and almost finalised with the bookings. Plus, I get to have the final say in most stuff:)

    So far, we have cut out few things and simplified version is: - 8 days (excluding travel days) in New York alone. Just explore the city at ease and take our time. - Fly back to LA and stay the night. Next day, leave for Vegas and spend 3 days there. - Fly to SF and spend 3 days. - Drive to...

    Thanks awkwardpaws! Will have around 5 days in LA and leaning towards getting a park hopper ticket, works out cheaper anyways.

    Thanks for the more insights RooFlyer! Last time we were in LA, we stayed at Crowne Plaza which was very nice for the price. Mind you, FX was around 90c at the time. We will be hiring a car when in West Coast, so taxis, public transport will be avoided. We can either take a trip to Niagara...

    Cheers Matt! We have been before and will for sure go again in future. Flights are already booked for MEL - LAX - JFK (Direct) and JFK - LAX (12 days) and back to MEL. But will not try and cover everything in this trip. Want to take it easy and if can't get to any attraction, will cover it...

    We were in US in November 2014 and did the canyon tour and must admit, got sucked in the tourist trap. Know better now though! Will be hiring a car and will consider the over night too. For theme park tickets, Princess Fiona suggested - MouseSavers.com - Your source for Disney discounts, codes...

    Thanks all for your input! So far, this is what we have: - Spend 9 days in NYC. Depending on weather, we may go for a trip to the Niagara Falls. If too cold (frozen) then couple of days in DC on cards. - Will spend the night in LA on 20 March and will catch morning flight to LAS. - Will fly...

    Thanks RooFlyer! Will be booking couple of rooms in a nearby hotel for the night and catch the flight next morning. Better be safe than sorry with kids and plenty of baggage in tow. As for the theme park tickets, really hard to come by but I will ask the hotel concierge. Cheers!
