ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 14, 2004-
Jetabout North America, which does business under the Qantas
Vacations
brand, and Genesis Travel Benefits, a payroll deduction benefits
company specializing in travel and leisure, have announced a
partnership to offer unique vacations and travel packages that
employees can pay for through their employer's payroll deduction
voluntary benefits program.

"Qantas Vacations joins renowned Carnival=AE Cruise Lines, luxury
Sandals=AE couples-only holidays, and Beaches=AE family vacations as
part
of our incredible line-up of vacation offerings through Genesis
Travel
Benefits' payroll deduction program for employers," announced Simon
Reynolds, President and CEO of Genesis Travel Benefits.

Qantas Vacations brand is the largest vacation wholesaler to
Australia
and New Zealand from the U.S. and it specializes in customized
leisure
travel to other South Pacific countries such as Fiji and Tahiti.
Kieron Keady, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Qantas
Vacations, says, "Qantas Vacations sees this as an exciting
proposition to bring our vacation packages to a large, new audience.
Our relationship with Genesis will deliver our products to interested

will use Qantas Airways as their exclusive air carrier for the

According to Mr. Reynolds, employers, brokers and benefit consultants
are eager to learn about how to add payroll deduction vacation
packages to their worksite voluntary benefits programs. "Think about
it. What's more exciting to talk about than vacations? Employees
truly
appreciate this opportunity to plan and pay for
holidays-of-a-lifetime, like an adventure 'down under' in Australia,
through payroll deduction. It's easy for the employee and employer.
It
increases employee satisfaction with the employer's benefits plan and
provides a new revenue stream for brokers and consultants in the
workplace benefits business," he explained.

For the employer, the payroll deduction travel benefit service can be
added to an existing voluntary benefits program at no additional cost
or administrative burden. Plus, Genesis Travel Benefits makes it easy
for the employer and broker by handling all of the enrollment and
reservations for the benefit.

"Genesis Travel Benefits is living up to its mission of expanding our
product line with the best vacation packages offered by the best
travel and leisure companies in the world. We are getting great
reviews from travelers as well," continued Mr. Reynolds.

[Deafening silence.]

A simple "Sorry, Frank!" would have been nice, but I guess that's
expecting too much. Also some backup/response of/to your accusation of
me "forging my headers" would have been appropriate IMNSHO.

[1] Yes, I know it isn't spam (because a single posting can never be
spam). At most, it is an unwanted, by some, commercial posting.

Hey face-ache, when it comes to posting something that may be of
interest to maybe ONE person, I will continue to do so.
As long as I have no affiliation whatsoever.

Chill out, Cath! I was actually supporting you and critcizing (sp?)
the other poster (Peter Titze), but you are apparently so pre-occupied
by some of my earlier postings, in which I *did* (rightfully) criticize
you, that you are no longer able to read what I actually wrote.

Look at the "\/" and "/\" thingies. They are arrows. I had to use
"\/", because there is no downward-pointing equivalent of the "^"
character. So, just follow the arrows, see what they point to and you'll
(hopefully) figure it out.

[more ranting deleted]

Now, changing the subjet, WHEN are **you** then going to post boo
about those who are posting their url/s to their commercial websites
on this newsgroup???

I notice you have not said a word about those. Why not?

Well, actually I *did* (in the posting which you replied to), but
apparently that went right over your head as well.

In some cases, their websites state they are members are X,Y,Z
organsiations and in fact are not; and/or are not posting their
Australian and/or State licences, et al...

So let's see you get on their back now Frank...

So in closing, **** off Frank and be a brave man and stop forging your
headers... nah, your too ****ing chicken too aren't you.
You're just a little dip**** who hides behind a forged header...
Such a brave brave man aren't you.
Whatcha got to be afraid of huh?

Cath

What "forging" would that be? That I don't supply an email address?
That is a choice, and an RFC (standard) compliant one at that. I post in
public, with my *full* real name, and do not sollicit email responses.
Nothing wrong with that is there, Cath ... what's your name again?

Hey, where did the other dozen or so original replies in this thread go????

Well for some reason, my newsfeed isn't dropping in threads/postings
sometimes for days.
It's obvious reading some replies in ngs, that some aren't making it
at all.

BTW I didn't make a song and dance about it last year when I got
accused of forgery. Remember?

I shall reply.

OK, fair enough.

BTW I didn't make a song and dance about it last year when I got
accused of forgery. Remember?

While doing so, did they also call you all kinds of names [1] for no
good reason?

I shall reply.

Another six days later, I/we am/are still waiting and rather
umimpressed by your (un)willingness to correct your mistakes.

Cath

[1] "Hey face-ache,", "the **** I receive from you", "to hell with you",
"who the **** are you anyway!", "**** off Frank", "your too ****ing
chicken too aren't you.", "little dip****", and some more small stuff.

Hi, I work in the AUS/NZ travel business. Can I ask what they quoted
you? And when? I'm not an agent, and can't book your plans, but I can
give you advice if you like.
