QuietLion.. thanks! Just tried Expedia again, and it has come to life. $89 for 2 queen beds. Great.

Go to book it. Filled out all usual tedious stuff. Submitted. "Not valid for Australian".

OK -- went back, did phone and address and zip for US buddy, with MY VISA card. Submit.

"Card owner not at address given". (How the heck did Expedia know?!)

Went back, did it all agian. Used Amex this time. I'd fool em. Ha.

2 seconds later - "card owner not at address given".

WHO says computers run our lives. Stumped!

(And QL ... think UA Vacations has same nonsense about not selling direct to Non North Americans .. think I went down that path before!)
