Hi I used to work on Carnival Cruise Lines over in the states in the 80's did it for 6 years and loved it. I really don't think you will need to worry about visa's. When you board you will give in your passports to the pursers office for the entire cruise. These are checked by immigration upon...

Ozforex gives a great exchange rate will transfer bank to bank for $15 each time. First time is sometimes free I have used it a few times when going home to the UK to see family and friends. Once set up it is there for next time you need it and very easy to use.

The tree next door to us (Tenants in house) came down early hours of Friday morning it was a very old unhealthy massive gum tree. We had been asking for ages for it to be cut back as when we get heavy rains it hangs very low on our side plus causes a mess. Well we had non stop rain here on the...

Try Ozforex they do good rates and also do a travel card too. We got one for our Holiday in July/Aug to use in Hong Kong and Paris never needed it for the Uk as we still have a UK bank account so just transferred money direct to there again using Ozforex. They are pretty decent rates with them...

Yes saw it Monday cinema was packed various ages but mainly mature. It was very good I thought it would be more my hubby and sons scene but son didn't want to go so I did. Really enjoyed it very well done and worth while seeing.

Just had an update now looking at late January hopefully and state 3 -4 weeks later. Really think they are just holding on to the cash for their own reasons and maybe in the hope people drop out of the scheme.

It is very frustrating but not much any of us can do, lets just hope it is a one off and next year will be back to normal. This is our first year of Nras so as I understand we have to wait about a month after the certificates arrive before the state Coffs up their portion of the incentive.

We where in Hong Kong in July for a week beginning of July and again for another 5 days in August on our return from Europe this year. Its a beautiful place, the people are so nice and polite and everywhere is so clean. I don't blame the young Hong Kong adults standing up and defending what will...

Hi Investor I use a variety of online sites and always research hotels and area's before booking anything. We recently came back from a 6 week trip including week stays in Hong Kong each direction and UK and Paris. As we had multi flights we decided to give Expedia a go and found them very...
