Your average American redneck can’t even spell ‘passport’, let alone apply for one.

No Red Hot Rooms available in Melbourne on *any* date. through the app. Is this a glitch?


Controls are apparently rubbish on PC. Stick to console.

I used them once with my Citi card for a family holiday at the Cairns Pullman. No complaints, and it was around $200 cheaper than going…

jaygee on AmEx Platinum Card: 225,000 Rewards Points ($5,000 Spend in 3 Months), $1,450 Annual Fee

What the best way to use it? Is there a minimum number of annual overseas trips you aim for?

Cancelled and refunded. Quelle surprise.

Yes, it’s an established brand with recurring, documented wifi issues.

Thanks. We got out from Amazon, so there were no issues with a refund. Roborock tech support was fairly limp, being hard to get hold of and…

No children allowed, unfortunately. It’d be a hell of a bargain family holiday otherwise.

No visa required for Australian citizens.

Meconium on [eBook] No Country for Old Men $0.99 @ Amazon, Google Play Books, Kobo, eBooks.com

I preferr the Coens’ depiction of Anton Chigurh. McCarthy fleshes him out too much. It’s a good book made into a great movie.

Nobody’s going to fall for that one again.

WillisAU on [eBook] No Country for Old Men $0.99 @ Amazon, Google Play Books, Kobo, eBooks.com

Yes, though I found the movie - one of my all-time favourites - better than the book.

That’s an interesting point. But don’t you risk getting refused accommodation if you show up with an unbooked baby in tow?

Lovely suggestion. Unfortunately we’d have to get a new car - Kia Rios can barely tow a wheelbarrow.

Chris17 commented on Travelling With Three Kiddies?
Thanks for all of these suggestions. I mostly agree that overseas travel is wasted on the young. To me, ‘travel’ means exploring places…
