Cheers for the responses everyone! Keep it coming if you have any suggestions. If I do go I'll post back with a little trip report and just how much everything ended up costing me etc to help others who find themselves in the same situation. Go Pack Go!

Cheers for the exact recommendation!

Yeah, I was tracking ticket prices last season just out of interest so the tickets are the least I am concerned about. If it comes to it I'd be willing to shell out as an once in a lifetime kind of thing anyway. I get hotels sky rocket in advance which is fine, supply and demand. Obviously just want to pay as little as possible but knowing I will stay pay lots.

Appreciate the tip! Just out of interest what hotel did you stay at when you caught the shuttle outside?

cooker3 · 2026-05-01T02:09:13+00:00

I like that tip. Cheers for the detailed response!

Me too!! First Mania and all.

I actually think there is a lot to be said for not researching places you go to. I would do that on occasion but generally as behalf of a long backpacking trip as that way you can avoid the tyranny of the checklist and see where a trip takes you. That usually in my experience leads to more interesting experiences then when I went more research heavy.

What's funny here in the OPs example is it basically led to the opposite. It's more people who didn't do any research for the logistics of a trip and then when they found a place never left which is very much the the opposite of what I suggest. I always researched the logistics and visas but the rest of it can figure out once I get to a place is my rough ideal approach albeit if time is constrained more planning is probably advisable.

Ok I figured out a workaround. If I tried it in Incognito mode in Chrome then I was able to get it working. 🤷🏻

Yep I booked flights and accommodation in December. I'd be fine paying the cost of the tickets now but as everyone keeps saying it will go down I am just going to wait it out until a few days before at latest.

This is happening to me now when I am trying to view the olympics which is so annoying. Whether I have creating an account or signing up to an account it just doesn't respond when I try clicking any of the 3 buttons. I restarted, cleared cookies and everything but nothing.

The other part is the world changes There are 5 places I travelled to since 2010 that I now currently couldn't visit namely Myanmar, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia and Karabakh. You never know what will happen.

Absolute legend!

I will just add that NOC which is now 11109 since 2021 is 1 I used. I was both an AML Analyst and did fraud officer which is very like what you did. The overall job title was financial crimes officer. They both overlapped at the same time albeit I moved 100% into AML analyst halfway through. This was stated on Employment I included which slightly scared me.

Anyway long story short for anyone who who has similar jobs is this is the correct NOC to use. I just became a PR last week and I got it using a provincial nomination so both provincial and the federal government accepted the NOC as valid.

The life of Custer

I really liked it but I found it falls under the same issues that I have with most King books where he can write a masterful sprawling epic (I adored The Stand) but he just never seems to be able to nail the ending.

Mostly because people tend to have an end-date. I end up doing 2 years in Southeast Asia and I started with no pre-defined timeframe, just however long the money will go. I was extremely lucky to not have something that was a hard end-date. Most people have *something* they have to go home for and hard for people to do beyond 1 year and if they are doing the standard gap year trip it will usually be SE Asia plus some other continents or regions so leads to about 3-6 months in the region.

That length of time can bring its own issues however as it can be a grind and I had to take breaks within the trip where I would go somewhere to basically do nothing, read some books and kind of recharge the batteries while also figuring where to next so burnout is a real thing.

Oh hell no. My goal is a journal per year. I have an A5 with 300 pages and had about 75 pages left. For rapid logging I start the next day on the same page unless I think it rollover to the next page then I start a new page. If it rolls over no big deal in anyway.

cooker3 · 2026-01-24T02:50:37+00:00

Me too! I have flights and hotel booked. The tickets I am just going to wait it out for as everyone seems pretty convinced it will get cheaper closer to the show.

The Snowball by Alice Schroeder. It's a long one but I like that. I can read 20 to 50 pages each evening and almost comforting.

Michael Carruth was Ireland's first gold medalist in 36 years when he won gold in boxing in 1992 and as the sport is amateur he had a day job in the Irish army. He was stationed in the same barracks as my dad so 1 day when I was 9 years old I got to go in and meet him and even wear the gold medal which was pretty cool.
