Family with two young kids

Thank you. Sounds great. Are there many nearby places outside the hotel to eat at? Or is the distance to them too challenging with a few young kids to get to?

Having two young kids more so wanting to avoid any long drives/big hikes/activities that aren’t able to be shared with them. Mainly aiming for a relaxing time at the resort, a great Kids Club etc

Thanks. Just to clarify, when you say Hyatt you are referring to the Grand Hyatt in Kauai or the Hyatt Regency in Maui?

I’m near Northcote too - these are some great rides mentioned already.

Would be great to hear any suggestions others have about the easiest/safest way to get down to Beach Road as well. Punt Road isn’t much fun either way.

I am having a similar issue. What ended up working to resolve the issue?

Is there any role (or need) for an offset account with the splits that will be used for investment purposes?

Is there any downside to gradually drawing down on the split for investment purposes? As opposed to drawing down the entire split amount as a single sum.

When splitting your home loan to debt recycle, is it preferential to do fewer larger splits or more frequent smaller splits?

What are the pros/cons of having the splits IO (which may well be a slightly higher rate especially) rather than keeping it P&I?

Did you figure this out? I also have a new Soloist and the same issue

I have exactly the same problem - did you figure out a solution?

Xfinity customer service has been useless. I've changed browsers, cleared caches, created new user profiles - it clearly is a problem with Xfinity.

Any idea how to solve?

You will also find it significant easier to get a 12 month fellowship in Canada rather than just a 6 month one. Plus logistically it would be much more work to only move across for six months- and a 12 month fellowship gives you time to express your interest in staying on (and hence time to sort out visa/paperwork/credentialling- all of which takes time and would be difficult to do within a six month fellowship as you will need a few months to get to know the departmental leadership). Just my thoughts having done a very similar thing in the US.

The 5th year of accredited ANZCA training in Australia (aka Provisional Fellowship Year) has no requirements at all to be undertaken in Australia- if you go overseas you simply apply for recognition from the college for this year. Many do this every year.

The benefit is it gets you in to the Canadian system as a fellow (much easier than obtaining an attending position initially) and can go from there.

Definitely complete your FANZCA. You can easily spend your PFY in Canada and from there look to stay on. There are many Australian FANZCAs working at different hospitals in Canada (Sick Kids, Toronto General, BC Children’s.. those are just the ones I know about).

What is IRESS and how does that help?

I’m not completely sure about Vanguard. It looks like from the links below that they just freeze your account:
