Q. Hello,
A friend and I are planning to travel to Australia, New Zealand and one other country for three weeks. The other country would be Bali, Thailand, Fiji or Tahiti. We will be there from mid-December to mid-January. We are there as a graduation gift to ourselves and would be there on a budget. We are wanting to do some surfing, scuba diving, snorkling, hiking and of course sightseeing. We would like to know what are the best places to do these things. We would like to stay away from tourist traps. We are also wanting to know what airports and cities would be best to fly in and out of. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

A. Tahiti is expensive. it is French so prices are so so much higher than bali or Thailand. You would be in NZ and Australia during the peak season school holidays so accomodation prices will be expensive unless you plan in staying in Back packer hostels. It may pay to book ahead if you know where you will be. I would suggest you have a few days in Sydney on your way to New Zealand or the Gold Coast you can fly into Brisbane for the Gold Coast it's 1 hour by train. I dont know if you want to hire a car in NZ that is the best way and if you can fly into Auckland and out of Queenstown that would be very good. Look at www.airnewzealand.co or www.jetstar.com.au
What months is the best time to go to Indonesia to enjoy the beach and relax?
Q. I've checked on the net it says - In most parts of Indonesia, the wet season falls between October and April (low season), and the dry season between May and September (high season). Don't know if this true. Please help.
actually, we are planning to stay in Ayodya Resort Bali. I've read a lot of positive feedback from this place. Is Bali far from Jakarta? I'll be coming from Jakarta. Thanks for the help.

A. Indonesia is a funny country and please do not expect too much about the beaches, even Bali now is very filthy, and Banda Naira, Ambon, North Sulawesi, even Bangka Island and some parts of Java do have excellent beaches, but...they have no facilities, and people will charge you too much and do not count on the seasons....Now, is very hot, in one place, in other places, will be funny, flood, and even riots and locals small wars...not safe...but you are always welcome, and...please bring companies, never come alone. Believe me!! Beware of their locals, women especially,...they will pretend that they will also coming from somewhere, and then you two will chit chat..and so on...and at the end, they will rip you off...so, please come with your groups and never get any involvement with them...I have lost some good people in life, because of them....
