I am starting to plan my packing for this trip that starts on Dec. 2 and I have several questions. Did men wear sport jackets at the welcome and farewell dinners? Are there any laundromats close by any of the hotels? Are there nail salons on every corner like in the USA? And, of course, I'm a shopper but I hate spending time roaming around when there are so many things to see and experience. Any suggestions for reasonable and reputable stores to buy opal jewelry in Australia and jade in New Zealand?
Also, was the luggage put on the charter flights or was it moved by truck to the next location?
I appreciate all suggestions!
