I have been umming and arring over travelling for 6-8 weeks early next year for a while now. my main aim is i want to see the great barrier reef. at approaching 33, i am nearing the window closing on this (realistically).
my plan being to fly to california, have 7 days there, then fly to queensland, have 4 weeks (maybe more) there, then get a flight back to the UK via bali for a week.
i was not sure about whether i could afford the money to travel and have 2 months worth of mortgage and bills go out, with no income coming in.
however, i have found out today i have been awarded a contract from 29.10 until christmas eve that would allow me to comfortably afford this and the timing is spot on as i wanted to do the trip in january when australia is getting (i hope) some attractive weather. there is the possibility this contract will be extended until may but that's another isssue.
is flying into the US and then onto another country a simple thing or can i expect a customs interview? i wouldn't really want anymore than 7 days in california. plan being land at LAX, drive to san francisco then return back to LA taking in some national parks on the return. fly to queensland from LAX.
i was thinking trailfinders may be a good place to enquire but would like to know if anyone here has done similar?
