LALALA, One concern I have it the "tourist" thing. I don't usually take kindly to these types of things because in my travels I am used to NOT doing the tourist kinda thing...but I should fare well since it is short.

Sweet Willie - I am worried that I need to set up my schedule for Ayers Rock prior to leaving the US..but thought I could just do the buffet pick and choose option once I land and use a hotel travel deask or concierge but I have heard accomodations can be hard to come by if you don't set up early enough.

Sweet Willie - any recommendations on who you used while there? Thanks...many responses and good info.
