Stopovers - Good idea?
We are travelling out next year and I (being very bored at work) have started looking at ideas regarding flights.
Would anyone reccomend doing a stopover? I have been thinking of the Thailand.
It's just the two of us in a late twenties so no kids to worry about. Though the idea of lugging all our luggage around does slightly put me off the idea!

Hong Kong is great lots to do and see and buy and shuttle buses from the airport to most hotels save the lugging bags problem Also Singapore is good cheap taxis also save the luggage problem we have tried all these and also gone the USA way but would NEVER do the journey straight though as you lose a couple lor more days at the other end for jet lag and bad temper. Good journeying ...

We stopped in Singapore for 3 days. Cheap taxi into city (which is beautiful) and we stayed in a top hotel for £125.00 (both of us for 2 nights). Had a great time, would recommend it.

We just had four days in Hong Kong, which was fantastic and broke up the trip nicely.
It meant that we could chill out for a few days after the sheer panic of moving out of the UK before the panic of arriving in Oz, and lessening the pain of the flights.
Oh, and to rival Bangcock, if you're in Hong Kong, check out the jewellery chain called "Fok Ming Tong" (!)

The first time we went to Oz we stayed over in Bali for 4 days, which was nice. Last time we went straight through there and back. There was just the two of us last time so it was fine but we have a 2 year old now and are planning on going out next October, not sure if we will go straight through or have a couple of days in Singapore or somewhere.
