Down Under Answers has it covered with itineraries such as these:

• For a memorable vacation in Australia, set sights on Sydney, Ayers Rock & Cairns (8-night air and land inclusive, from $1,799 per person/double occupancy). Visit favorite Australian highlights by tracing the "Golden Triangle" from metropolitan Sydney to mystical Ayers Rock (Uluru) in the heart of the continent, to Cairns, gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, for diving or sunbathing on a pristine beach.

• Dreamt of a New Zealand vacation? Revel in New Zealand Splendor (16-day air and land inclusive, from $2,539 per person/double occupancy). This self-drive New Zealand holiday meanders from Auckland to Christchurch, taking in such must-see sites as Rotorua's thermal spa pools, the capital city of Wellington, adventure-filled Queenstown, Larnach Castle in Dunedin, and more.

• For an Australia-New Zealand vacation that offers a balanced view of life Down Under, pick Auckland & Sydney (6-night air and land inclusive package from $1,099 per person/double occupancy). Experience the buzz of New Zealand's largest and most vibrant city -- jaunts to lush scenery, beaches and vineyards are within 30 minutes of downtown. Then it's off to Sydney to see the famous opera house, climb the Harbour Bridge, take in the fine restaurants and nightlife, or squeeze in more wine tasting in the acclaimed Hunter Valley.

The only hard part is deciding which route to go," notes Kirk Demeter, President of Down Under Answers.

For those who are having trouble deciding upon a destination, here are a few Down Under questions to help determine who's an honorary Aussie, a wannabe Kiwi, or both:

• Moved to tears by the voice of an angel (opera's Kiwi Dame Kiri Te Kanawa)?
• Swoon over People magazine's 2008 Sexiest Man Alive (Aussie actor Hugh Jackman)?
• Is it all about Rugby's Kangaroos (Aussie) or the All Blacks (Kiwi)?
• Favor the award-winning novels of Peter Carey (Aussie) or the award-winning mysteries of Ngaio Marsh (Kiwi)?
• Does sipping a glass of Dogrock Shiraz (Aussie) or Cat's Pee on a Gooseberry Bush Sauvignon Blanc (Kiwi) fit the bill?

Recent headlines say that travel has never been more affordable and incredible bargains like these are available for a limited time only: When they're gone, they're gone. The trip of a lifetime is only a mouse-click away.
