Toby

Hey there!  Nice to see another Canadian heading over to the land of Oz!  I'm going on the Beachs and Reefs tour starting in Sydney on April 23rd.  I can't wait!  Man i wish i could stay forever, get an appartment and travel.  Was my plan 5 years ago..car accident 48 hours prior to my flight put a 5 year hold on that..but now i'm going..this time only for 2 1/2 weeks instead of a year.  better than nothing eh!  when are you booking? 
where you from?

Ya relaxing to know im not the lone Canadian goin on the R&R...i woulda been super suprised if i had been too ....Ive been on a contiki tour already in europe like 5years ago....it was unreal....so i thought i deserved to give them another shot when i go to Oz!  I dont have a visa or anything and i dont know how long ill be there for but i know id love to do the trip then see where my journey takes me from there ?!?!  Crazy to hear about the 5year delay on your trip tho...and 2 1/2 weeks is better then looking at pictures ...that's for sure...Im from Van city where its sooo spring already and gettin to look like summer...yesssss.  Where are you at?  are you a student? or worker bee? or neither ? hit me back when ya get a chance...

Hey Tody...i'm a working girl from the home of your Calgary Flames!!  Yesssss!!!!  : )  Sorry to hear the Canucks aren't doing so well...hehehe.
So what's your story?  working/school/wannabe-beach-bum?
So did you book your trip yet?  When I booked mine, Beaches and Reefs, you get a 3 month travel visa included...but no working permitted.  takes about a month to get a working visa i know...although i hear you have to be under the age of 26 now...dammit ; )
How did you like the Contiki tour through Europe?  If i like this tour, my next will be European...or the Egypt one.

Hi Toby,

My name is Natalie and I live on the south coast of Australia.  I am going on the Reefs and Rainforest tour leaving Cairns June 7th and arriving in Sydney June 23 this might be to far away but it would be great if you came along to this one it might give you more time to get your visa organised.  I am looking forward to meeting people from all parts of the world.  Hope to hear back form you soon.

Hey Ladies,

Ya 3 months might be all ill need there? but who knows...its kind hard to say just yet but im looking into every option.  The Europe trip was a blast... and highly recomended.. i did the 10 countries 20 days tour...and i was spent by the end of it so i think the 17 day tour will be rad and just long enough then the worlds the limit after that...I cant wait tho...im gettin super excited...Canucks Rule...
