Check it out if you haven't got a booking already.

PS: We're checked in on Saturday 10th, and staying through to the Tuesday 13th.

Cool beans!

I have a room about a block away at Meriton Serviced Apartments - World Tower. If you would like to save a few bucks and have a great view of the city/harbour you are welcome to stay with me Sunday night.

Cool! I will have to experience the meeting and the eclipse vicariously, though.

We'll keep our room for the Sat - Tues period so as not to have to move rooms (we hate packing and unpacking more frequently than once every 3 days - it's a rule when travelling...), but we'll gladly come and have a squizz* at your digs !

This is getting exciting !!!

Hey!

You need a Visa to visit down under. I had no idea. I wonder what other little details I'm missing...

€uroMeinke · 08-03-2012, 07:49 PM

Bring along a Master Card just in case

Moonliner · 08-03-2012, 08:45 PM

Yes, it would appear that Visa is in fact everywhere I want to be...

katiesue · 08-03-2012, 09:38 PM

check on the exchange rate charges on the cards. Some have them some do not. If you have the correct Amex they seem to have the lowest fees.

lashbear · 08-04-2012, 11:35 PM

and dont forget that LOTS of places here dont accept AMEX because of the high fees they charge - and those that do accept it usually add an extra 2-3% to the purchase total to cover those merchant fees.

I would stick with Visa.
