we noticed an increase in expediture last August. We were lucky our acommodation was the same as last year.don't worry about the price increase of accomodation,and the increase in food prices,transport bintangs etc. Fair dinkum you all got cheap airfares didn't you? it's still a cheap holiday it's still the land of the gods isn't it? have a half a bintang for me when you's get there.
