Hi from Italy
An other question....
do you know a lodge in Ayers Rock ?

If you are into traveling but hate the ugly luggage, I'd recommend
these hot new luggage bags, PAN AM bags. I love them, I use them all
the time whether its a weekend getaway or a trip across the country, I

Eight of us are planning a March-April 2008 trip.  Five of us are kosher
which, for the purposes of this trip, essentially means no meat,
chicken, or shellfish, but fish such as sole, flounder, trout, are fine.
One is a vegetarian who does eat dairy and eggs. Two will eat most

I'm looking for accomodation  opportunities in Sydney at approximately

Who can recommend a good/cheap car rental in Melbourne?

South Island, including the Milford Track. I've looked on the
