A long long long way off...

[Ducksta]

I think it's balancing what you see as value.
Dollars vs fishing time vs fishing quality. But also inclusions.
It's small things like charging extra for drink, leaving transfer costs and organising separate, that grate me a bit when looking at value "locally".
My opinion on value is obviously coloured by having been fortunate enough to fish overseas when the Aussie dollar was kicking arse.

But now the cost is also offset by the number of brownie points I need for extra days to travel. Need to keep those few extra days of annual leave for family time.
