Planning: For a trip down-under

Its that time of the year, time to do some travelling, time to do some relaxing, and time for some fun. Been almost 2 years since my last vacation, I think its high time we got out of the place. And where better than the Kangaroo-land, for some sight-seeing, and getting some adrenaline rush in Queenstown, among the Kiwis.

The travel companions: Mrs and Mr Chandra, Preetu and me.

Tentative itinerary: SFO -> Sydney -> Great Barrier Reef -> Ayers Rock -> Sydney -> ChristChurch -> Queenstown -> Sydney -> SFO

Airlines: AA (using frequent flier miles)

Now, onto to get the Aussie visas:

For non-US citizens, we have to mail in a paper application to the Washington.D.C office. Turn-around time is *3 weeks*. US citizens can apply online. All the documents and forms to be filled up are here: http://www.austemb.org/DIMA/visiting/short_stay_visit.html Phone number to contact the Australian Embassy in D.C: 888-990-8888

For NewZealand:

Right on bro, Down under eh?! Sweet!
dont miss the bungy jumping from the bridge and super fast moto boat ride in queenstown. And if you've time, try and do a day trip to Milford Sound(knowing that you're a Lord of the Rings fan, you'll love it!)
