Hi again,

A couple more questions....has anyone heard of
escortedaustraliatours.com? Wondered if they are a good company. They have an interesting 17 day reef and rainforest tour I was looking at. I thought it might be another option for us. It mentions quad accomodations though and since my husband and I are on our anniversary don't think we want to "share" a room. It does sound like it has alot of things we would enjoy.

Also, any thoughts on a day of the week that it might be easier to get out of LAX to SYD the first week of May . My husband flys for Skywest and so United is probably our best option. Although I think they have only one flight a day so other options as a back up might be necessary. Also Al mentioned our visa could be processed on line through the CRS system. How do we go about doing that? He is a pilot so does not work at all with the ticketing system for the airlines. He normally just has one of the gate agents list us on a certain flight.... Anyway, as you can see we have not taken much advantage of the nonrev benefits he has. We are definitely newbies....

Thanks for all your help everyone!! Hope to hear from you soon.
Kathy
