What a deal!

Prices to Australia this September are so cheap I'm almost tempted to book (but don't worry I won't). You can get a flight to Sydney from Chicago for about $1000. Hmmm and it's also a shorter plane ride than to Thailand by about an hour and a half. So tempting. If you've been dreaming of trip to Oz, now's the time to book.

Edit: Hotels appear to be cheap in Australia too! A 5 star for a couple nights in September works out to $169/night for the Shangri-La. Definitely some great deals.
