What type of American liquor to bring to Australia as a gift?

Q. I am traveling to visit a friend in Sydney. I want to bring a bottle of liquor which is hard to find/expensive in Australia. Preferably something made in the States. What to bring?

A. To recommend a thoughtful gift don't you have to know what that person likes?
Liquor in AU costs at least twice as much as the states and there's much less availability for many different ones. Why don't you just ask your friend if they like bourbon, tequila, single malt scotch to get a clue.

Best places and ways to travel within Australia and New Zealand?
Q. Hello,
A friend and I are planning to travel to Australia, New Zealand and one other country for three weeks. The other country would be Bali, Thailand, Fiji or Tahiti. We will be there from mid-December to mid-January. We are there as a graduation gift to ourselves and would be there on a budget. We are wanting to do some surfing, scuba diving, snorkling, hiking and of course sightseeing. We would like to know what are the best places to do these things. We would like to stay away from tourist traps. We are also wanting to know what airports and cities would be best to fly in and out of. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

A. Tahiti is expensive. it is French so prices are so so much higher than bali or Thailand. You would be in NZ and Australia during the peak season school holidays so accomodation prices will be expensive unless you plan in staying in Back packer hostels. It may pay to book ahead if you know where you will be. I would suggest you have a few days in Sydney on your way to New Zealand or the Gold Coast you can fly into Brisbane for the Gold Coast it's 1 hour by train. I dont know if you want to hire a car in NZ that is the best way and if you can fly into Auckland and out of Queenstown that would be very good. Look at www.airnewzealand.co or www.jetstar.com.au
