but couldn't get a response, so we went with a company that we have used before. The rate was in USD and in Sept that was fine by us as the AUS $ was 96 cents. Instead of paying for accommodation in full then (didn't trust the aftermath of the executions), we decided to wait until 2 weeks before arrival. As you know the AUS $ fell to 65 cents in November, which meant our accommodation went up by 33% in a few days. So we are hoping against hope that the AUS $ will go up in the next few months which will bring our rate down.
To add insult to injury we booked Jetstar special fairs in Sept only to have even better specials come out now. Oh well, at least we are going and when and where we want to. The glass is half full.
