replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis @Australia @feralcreature Yes, that's right. Plus, LAX to BNE, LAX to JFK and LAX to MEL. #TravelSkills

RT @CaitlinDineen: @LandLopers A5: I'm a fan of anything with heights involved. Zip-lining is one of my faves, but I'm all about something…

@travelskills A5 Australia is an adventurer's playground! Great if you like thrills sky high, or wet and wild, mixing with wild animals on their home turf.

@Australia TIP Did you know that you can ski in Australia? They call their resorts “snow fields.” Most are in New South Wales and Victoria: https://t.co/w2orGvi5Yz

The list of @Australia’s hottest 2019 experiences include glamping among grapes, Aboriginal-inspired wellness and remote lodge stays: https://t.co/CTuwAemWjv #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills As an expat I consider anything under 7 hours (my normal flight time home) as short haul. I always sit by the window for the view and hope I’m sitting next to someone who wants to chat to relieve the boredom #travelskills

A4 My most expensive trip ? My #Bahamas honeymoon -- the last time we were able to take 2 whole weeks off! But if I knew then what I know now about #travel planning/research/booking, I really think we could have saved 50%! Still -- worth it, right @reneesaglie?! #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills Well, most recently it was that toboggan ride down a mountain in Madeira Portugal 🇵🇹 #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A6 The @ParkHyatt Sydney is considered one of the very best hotel splurges in the world. It’s not cheap, but what a view! #TravelSkills


replying to @Australia @Australia A6 Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island (@BaillieLodges), @Longitude_131 in Uluru, One&Only @WolganV, or @ParkHyatt Sydney #TravelSkills


A4 Of the trips I've paid for, the most expensive was my round-the-world trip long ago. The bill wasn't that much considering it was 80 days, but much more in today's dollars #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills I don’t really enjoy these types of activities, for me when I travel to a new country I want to do things I can’t experience elsewhere such as emerge myself in the culture, visit all the sights, meet the locals and explore #travelskills

replying to @Australia @Australia TIP To get better hotel rates book a package deal and/or go in the offseason #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia TIP Last time I went to Australia, I wrote about its newest biz class hotels. So many new, diverse choices: https://t.co/WYDuQQ6dPn #TravelSkills

All the Luxury Lodges of Australia are fabulous. Super luxurious, with lots of local details and natural beauty all around. Stayed at Longitude 131 near Uluru years ago; amazing. Saffire Freycinet (photo) In Tasmania looks amazing. A7 #travelskills @tasmania @LuxeLodgesofOz
