Wow AussieDaisy you guys are hard core fans! I would NEVER have the nerve to wear those outfits, but I must say they are awesome & I am sitting here grinning away. Good on you girls!
Does anyone want to also include the dates they will be at either Disneyland or WDW? Who knows - some might want to meet up for a dole whip or a churro or just to say G'day (although I don't think I have ever actually said that word in real life). Anyway, we will be at Disneyland November 15th, 16th & part of the 17th. Of course we have our whole time planned out already!
Cracked up about the shopping comments. We make a trip to Target on Harbour Boulevard EVERY trip (& yes of course we are planning to squeeze it in again this year). We stock up on cheap (depending on the Aussie dollar of course) DVD's, CD's, unusual junk food, Beauty products & of all things greeting cards & gift bags!
Last November we finally went to the 24 hour Walmart that is about a 10 minute drive away. It is massive & I am so glad I had my camera with me because I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a vending machine thingy with FISH in it! Also at that time of year they had all the christmas stuff out in all the shops which we just drooled over.
One other thing I have just thought of. In past years we were always allowed to bring 2 x 32kgs PER PERSON back from the US. I have noticed qantas have now changed this to 2 x 23kgs (to match up with the 50 pound limits in the states). Still a fantastic amount compared to what other places allow you to bring back, but I want my missing 18 kilos of allowance back! By the way that is in ecomomy, you still get the original amounts if you are in business class (Not us - but a person can dream). Now please don't take these figures as gospel, check out whatever airline you are travelling with & make sure you know what's what before you get caught with excess. Everone that we know that goes to the US, we always make sure to tell them this, because a lot of people don't give it a thought & don't realise you are allowed extra than normal. Hope this has helped someone on this thread also.
