Preparation for our Australia Honeymoon Trip - Sep 07

What we've done preparing for our Australia (Sydney & Melbourne) Honeymoon Trip:

  • Scout around for F&E packages from tour agencies, and gather information and prices from them before comparing whether to book with them or book ourselves.
=> Decided to book air flights with NTUC Income Travel & Recreational Club. Total of 10 days in Australia. Will be on Quantas flight. Still deciding whether to book hotels through them or from Asiarooms.com directly. Still comparing the rates.
  • Plan trip itinery by (i) asking friends for tips (ii) geting travel itineries brochures from travel agencies
=> Will be booking City day tours directly with Australian City Tour Agents for most of our trip there.
  • To prepare thick clothings for the colder weather there, especially when going to Philip Island.

=> Bought mine (red one) at a steal! $15 instead of usual price of $99. Suitable for 0 - 10 degree celcius. Dear's jacket is more expensive though have 20% discount liao. Originally he wanted to buy white color one which looks nicer on him, but hor, we scared easily dirty mah, so decided to buy yellow color instead. Not bad also lah...

Hope we can finalize our hotel bookings soon, and one big load off our mind liao! (Not forgetting to mention one huge sum deducted from our account also! haha...)
