The Stan's are on my list of would like to go to but are not on the must do list.
Btw, Turkmenistan is off most 'Stan' packages now do to the unrest there.
Rules have always been made knowing that the majority will abide by them and a minority of people will not. I prefer to be doing the right thing knowing that I am doing my best for the community.
I have done wonderland on the Ovation tears ago, an amazing experience but then It only cost about $45 USD pp ( and our AUD was much stronger), we had purchased a dining package so tried all the restaurants. Some a few times.
Have done numerous helicopter tours, including the Queenstown triple adventure, Uluru, NYC and Mt Kilauea. Have also done many small plane and sea plane flights. They are all wonderful memories and it is such a shame you missed out on your much anticipated helitour.
Please all send your thoughts to Rosie for me, she has had a rough day today as it is our wedding anniversary. 34 years of suffering my jokes is quite a lot for her to bear. 😉
