In the United States, it's not a requirement for your parents to accompany you to the airport if you are over 11 but it's safer especially if you are going to a foreign country. They would have to fill out a form requesting permission to take you all the way to the terminal. If they want the airline to watch out for you they have to pay about $60.00 each way. I am not sure how things are done in Melbourne.

It's not so much of an event, is it? It's more of a birthday to a tragedy… The 100th is an event, and people are probable to show up… But 96th? makes no sense

I don't think you need a Visa to enter the country as your country is within ASEAN but do remember that you can not carry dairy such as cheese (you can but have to report it, and usually they will take them away from you, from my experience), foods that are not canned properly (most countries have this rule), dangerous goods (which I believe you already know this).

Indonesian customs are well known for abusing their "power" at the airport, they just love to order international passengers (doesn't matter they are Indonesians or Foreigners), looking for your mistakes, and would love to "take away" your belongings.

Try to learn a little Indonesian, just incase you got stuck at the airport while trying to enter the country, you might find it easier to communicate since many custom people have broken English. Some have excellent, some others plain nothing and I have seen many Foreigners stuck for a while since there are lost in translation situation.

Once you are in Indonesia, it is easy for you to travel to any cities, any islands, without having to show your passport everytime.

Have fun in Indonesia!

First, I'll state the obvious and let you know that your first step is obtaining a passport. You can usually get the forms from your local post office, and you will need a birth certificate and a few pictures you can obtain from any drugstore like Walgreens or CVS.

Next, do some research into the countries you want to visit. Decide what you are looking for–adventure travel, culture, history, parties, or a combo of all of the above. Look into forums like these for advice on places to visit.

Once you have an idea of the countries you'd like to visit and what you'd like to do there, start looking at local travel agencies or local guides. You can find hotels rated by regular people, not to mention open forums where you can ask questions and find out places to visit, on sites like TripAdvisor.com or on these Yahoo forums.

Now that you have everything in mind, plan for a time to visit according to either weather or seasonal prices. You can find cheap airfare on mobissimo.com–they search like 100 sites to find the best ones.

Once you have most of that planned out, go buy a Frommer's guide or other guide book to the country, and possibly a phrasebook. Try to find people in your area who speak the language of the countries you will be visiting to get a heads up on good words and pointers to know. Also, read the guide book and phrasebook before you leave–it makes life much easier when you know what to expect and how to handle different situations, like being served guinea pig in a restaurant.

Finally, have an open mind to new experiences, and realize that life is different abroad. Enjoy!

Mexico requires minors traveling without their parents to carry a letter of permission. See site below for sample letter for Canadian minors.
