Thanks for the feedback. I'm just a monger with some ideas.


Absolutely money can be saved all the way along. But if travelling in a group, the hotel has to be big enough to have enough availability plus an in-room safe to protect valuables from dodgy WL.

I think if this is to work, there would be a published list of flights and hotels that the participating mongers would book directly themselves. There would not be a central booking service. Just a co-incidence that we all meet and stay in the same hotels.

Yes, and I absolutely agree that people can do this themselves...which doesn't explain why travel agents are still in business.

I'm not a travel agent btw. I do however have a business in Phils which gives me a legitimate tax deductible reason to visit regularly.

Let's get serious about funding this. The advantages of Phils are good english skills, fantastic girls, good times and still a little frontier attitude.

Depart Australia on a Saturday, return the following Sunday.
