Thanks all... Having a look at various tour operator sites and on here I think I have pieced together a decent itinerary for about 8 weeks... I had decided to give Turkmenistan a miss as seemed to expensive and a pain with all the LOI nonsense so it will just be the 4 Stans and the 3 Caucasian...

I'm heading to do some of the former Soviet Stans plus maybe Azerbaijan-Georgia-Armenia in June/July I see Mattg did a trip report through some of these places but that was back in 2017. Has anyone done any more recent trips to these countries and can provide a bit more advice about getting...

Yeah I use to work in the building across from The Royal in the city and thought it strange you could have two businesses so similarly named... :)

Gosh I haven't been to The Royal for a long time... Last time might have been an AFF social event... And it is a nice location so I'm good with there....

Ok Flashback just alerted me to this social opportunity on FB and its been a longgg time since I attended a Perth social meet up event... :) So if I'm in Perth early March I will rock up... And will keep an eye on the Perth social meet up notifications a bit more closely from now on... :)

Just got back from an 8 week trip partly in Asia/Europe as well as ducking down to Tunisia so doing a bit of recovering before booking more travel, but then had some Krisflyer miles expiring on the weekend so booked J flights MNL-ICN-ALA (Almaty, Kazakhstan) so will probably do about 4 weeks...

Yeah a 4x4 would be tempting, but the SUVs seem such better value in terms of cost... But not great value if there is lots of places they won't let you go... And I can only drive an automatic anyway, so that is straight away bumping up the prices for rental vehicles...

Just looking at hiring a vehicle for 6 or so day self drive around Namibia.. I've read several websites that say in some places you won't be able to even go in if you don't have a 4WD, but I am thinking of just renting an SUV.. From your experience will that be enough for most places to be...

Ok I really should do something with the money I have sitting in the offset account and uhmming and ahhing for years now.... I know I've probably missed the big bounce back from Covid... If you don't mind some questions from someone who has watched the stock market and some crypto but never...

I think I used your referral code coolstepslg Well here's my code if anyone would like to use it. :) https://virginmoney.com.au/referral?referrerCode=IWM179 When signing up using the app and before confirming there is a field to enter an Offer etc, so its IWM179

I couldn't find anything about what the points are worth for redemption... Where did you see the bit about 5000 points = $22.50?

Sounds like your overly worried about coming to Perth, maybe somewhere else will suit better?? Be sensible and bring some warm and maybe some not so warm clothes... We're even big enough that we have some clothes shops here that you can buy some clothes if you didn't pack several suit cases...

Wanting to make a bunch of cheap purchases with a credit/debit card for a contest... What are people's best options for lots of small purchases?

Hmmm, seems to be the same ol same ol with this US election discussion?? Two polarised sides that never the twain shall meet, a large helping of Trump Derangement Syndrome, tends to be more lefties with a pathological hatred of Trump and pretty much a waste of time following or contributing?? :)

Its perfectly clear that Joe is increasingly suffering from senility or some sort of mental decline and most of the time has no clue what he is saying... Anytime he ignores advice and makes a public statement he pretty much makes a fool of himself and would disqualify himself from any important...

Guess you could go to the airport and spend a day in the lounge eating and drinking and watching planes land and take off... Pity in Perth is there isn't really any cheap Jetstar flights to buy a ticket for ($39-50 etc)... Unless you booked a flight and then cancelled it with the free...

I know it was meant to be a big 100th anniversary, but with this year looking like its turning to total coughe I wonder if he wished he'd bowed out a year or two ago and left on a high... Or whether he wouldnt want to leave his legacy and what he's built in anyone else's hands?

Hey sorry missed this and imagine it's to late now...

Anyone like a free complimentary Qantas club pass... Exp 24 March?

I've walked the track of the Monaco F1 GP but personally would never pay an exorbitant fee to go watch the race, its probably the most boring on the calendar although glamorous... And yes staying at Nice and training to Monaco was very simple, whether it would be quite so simple over that...
