Thanks for the info... I did follow-up by reading the stickies... Now I'm thinking of maybe starting our trip either in S Africa or NZ (both around $2700). Couple of questions... one about if we started in NZ we want to travel in AUST and possibly Fiji but I know there's the 2 stopover limit. Could we do one stop in AUST and just book other flights w/in Aust and Fiji? Maybe it would be better to start in S Africa b/c we only have a couple of stops there... Also wondering about when the currency is actually exchanged if I pay for ticket w/ Credit card as I read one post that said it took a month for the charge to actually post and the exchange rate could be very different. Any experience w/ this? Thanks.
