I've tried quite a few.. and the travel agent that we worked with said she'd look as well.....

You have to watch it from the beginning.  If i jumped in later in the show I would want nothing to do with it.

Is there another location you can fly to?

Sunshine Coast right?

How about a different airline?

Virgin Blue? It's like the Southwest Airlines of Austrailia.

I was checking different airlines last night..

It sucks..

If push comes to shove. I think we are going to try flying to Ayers Rock.


They have rock climbing and hiking you can do. Not quite as cool as snorkeling on the reef... but... I guess. her brother DOES live in australia.. so it kind of gives me a good reason to go back.. 8)

I would love to see Ayers rock......It's in the middle of freaking no where though. I would love to hit the Great Barrier though.

I researched a trip there and it had us flying to Cairns and taking a train to Beerwah to go to Australia Zoo and staying on the Sunshine Coast.

That is one big rock.  But the reef is still my first pick.
Title: Re: Officially Pissied off....
Post by: Krandall on May 12, 2008, 09:22:57 AM
Yeah, it works out pretty good to go to Ayers' theres multiple airlines from melbourne that have direct flights to ayers..

no direct flights to cairns from melbourne though.




It also sucks because taking a car is totally out of the question if you're on a time line :(

I'd love to see the country side in Au.

Jetstar, Victoria, and Qantas. I am going to check that Virgin Blue later today.

f#@$in love that show! My wife and I have "lost" nights, we invite our friends, drink until the Tivo is 75% there and watch with no interruption.. The only downer is: every answered question reveals 5 new ones. Which is why I have been addicted. I'm happy the show has been adding some scientific as well as the weird spiritual/psychological stuff lately. The strange thing is: I'm almost as happy when it is over as I was that was on. :grin_nod: How off topic is this?  :lol: Anyone incredibly bored can start a topic on it. I'm not that bored...yet.
