We've taken the big plunge and booked the flights to and from London. The Qantas fares on sale now are just too good to miss - I had allowed $6000 in our budget for two return flights to London and the actual price was $3825.72. I've paid by BPAY to avoid the outrageous fees Qantas charges for credit card bookings - $30 per person!! I cannot imagine anyone writing a computer system so complex that it costs 30 cents to process a booking, let alone $30.
Anyway, we'll be leaving Sydney for London on 11 August 2014 and then leaving London to come home on 22 September - basically 6 weeks away from home. 2 weeks of that is on a cruise, but the rest of it is yet to be planned - something to keep me busy for the next 10 months or so!
My next two steps:
- Go off and book some travel insurance.
- Panic about our money for the next couple of days until Qantas (hopefully) tells me that the BPAY worked :-)
