Travel Review: Luxury Australia & New Zealand Trip, Sydney, Melbourne, Uluru, The Great Barrier Reef, Cruise, Snorkeling, Rafting

We spent 5 weeks in Australia and New Zealand.  The trip was five weeks.  We literally went from Queensland in the North all the way down to Tasmania in Australia and visited both the north and the South Island of New Zealand.  If you are thinking of doing a trip like this, you MUST use this trip planner and her travel company. Her planning was meticulous. Every single flight connection, every single guide she selected, every single hotel met our needs perfectly.  In fact some of our accommodation were among the best I have ever had. What set our trip planner apart was that she listened carefully to what I wanted and she found accommodations and activities which met my goals.  She was an exceptional partner with which to work and she was helpful not only in the planning but she also provided assistance when we were there.  Specifically some of our tours were weather dependent.  When I asked her to help monitor whether an excursion was going due to weather she gladly pitched in to help. She is not one of those travel agents who once receiving payment, thinks she is done.  Rather, she is available to help with issues whenever they arise.  Now I should point out that the cost of the trip was not cheap.  However, she stayed pretty much on budget and as we both agreed, with some of our accomodations, you get what you pay for.
