our honeymoon, delayed

[fox]

Our anniversary was a couple-few weeks ago, so we're finally getting down to business and ... planning our honeymoon. (We didn't have vacation time saved up at the time we got married, and then I changed jobs and had even less vacation time. Plus we bought a house and have been building on to it. But we want to be sure to get a honeymoon before we have babies. NB I am not pregnant at this time.)

Planning international travel is hard. But rather than whine about it, I will crowdsource: who has recommendations for places to stay in Australia? Our itinerary is shaping up to include Sydney, Brisbane, and Cairns. (We're not going to make it out to the big red rock this time, nor over to NZ. Have to do another visit to the antipodes some other year.)

We have a slightly greater interest in B&B-type accommodations than in international hotel-type accommodations, but a marked preference for being comfortable rather than roughing it.

No specific recommendations, but I highly recommend airbnb.com - you can get lovely accommodations often for much less than hotels would cost in the same area. If you make sure you choose a place with good reviews you can get a really nice place - I've had some great experiences. It also gives you a chance to stay in non-tourist areas and you can feel like a local.
