Australia "Discovery Down Under" Nov 30th, 2008 anyone?

[rkdahl]

My wife and I are signed up for the Discovery Down Under tour beginning Nov 30th in Cairns, Australia. Anybody else joining us on the tour?

Any do's or dont's for visiting Australia? How about those that are going ahead of us...share your tips and photos when you get back?

Thanks!!

Anyone else booked Australia at all for this Fall? Nov 30th or other?

I tried to book an October trip to Australia, but it was all full. Subsequently, my hubby & I are now booked on one in January 2009. We asked to be put on a wait list for October, but never heard about anyone cancelling, so I guess we are stuck with 01/09.

I have never been to Australia, so I don't have a lot of advice for you, but I am very pale and am focusing my efforts towards sun protection. We just bought Body Glove shirts for snorkeling. We also know we will need a cell phone that we can use overseas and some type of converter for our electronic devices. (All of that is the hubby's territory, though.)

I hope you will post pics when you get back. I will still be here waiting for my trip!!
