Hey Kim,
So glad found some1 else going on the 18th,im from brisbane aus & am booking my tour this week!! very exciting..are you having a couple of days in london before?
its only 4months to go

Yay, finally a reply! I started thinking I'd be the only one going on this trip..haha.
I'm arriving in London on the 12th, then probably just staying in a hostel for a few nights, then staying at the royal national for 2 nights before we leave.
Are you just going for the Contiki? or staying longer before or after? I'm travelling around europe for 2 months after our tour finishes...i'm so excited!!!
It's 5 months isn't it? not 4...

hi kim, sorry my contikipedia hasnt been working! YAY there are two of us on tour so far lol, i will be going over earlier to visit family in the uk and then stay at the royal night before our trip! Not long to go now...are you also from aus? wow travelling around for 2months after,lucky thing,unfortunately i have to come back to work but i cant wait for our tour!!

Yeah this thing really isn't working very well for me either. it keeps taking me to the sign in page when i try to reply, even though i'm already signed in!
Yes i'm from Melbourne I'm 19, and i'm only able to go for 3 months coz i don't have a job waiting for me on the other side..haha. i'm working full time and saving like crazy until then tho!
Yeah i've got some relatives in the UK as well, who i might visit after contiki. however i'll most likey just visit them towards the very end of my trip, when i've completely run out of money and need somewhere to stay. haha.
Hope you have a great christmas!! and a fantastic new year!

Hey! So I thought our trip was leaving from London on the 16th but apparently not, it's the 18th! So it looks like we're all on the same trip. I can't wait! I'll be traveling with my cousin, she's 20 and I'm 19 and we're from Canada. We're going to Ireland and London before hand, does anyone know what hostel in London they'll be staying at?

Hey Kelsey!
How long are you going to Ireland and London for before hand? are you travelling at all afterwards?
I'm arriving in London on the 12th, but i dont know what hostel i'll be staying at yet for those few nights. then i'll be at the Royal National for the last 2 nights before our trip.
WOW just realised there's only 4 months and about 4 days til we leave!!! So excited!

Hey Kim! We'll be in Ireland the 7th-12th, and London from the 13th until the trip! We're thinking of the Generator Hostel in London. I don't think we'll be traveling after contiki, just one night in London, then back to work unfortunately. 4 months seems like nothing! I officially won't be thinking of anything else until then.

Hey,

I'm looking at booking this, just have to get the 100% from work and then it's all set!

Would be arriving on the 16th and having 2 nights in the RN before the tour and 4 nights after it, or maybe a hostel (not a fan of the RN not having lockers in rooms).

Will update when I find out from work if it's ok. Hopefully it isn't booked out before then,
-Grant

Hey Grant!
Where are you from? So far we've got two Aussies and two Canadians!
Also, for everyone going on this trip, we need to communicate elsewhere! This contiki thing is driving me slightly insane. Does everyone have Facebook or something? Let me know!
On a side note...3 months, 3 weeks, and 4 days to go!

Hi Guys!
I've just booked European Experience for the 18th May too. Im SO excited!
Ill be arriving in London on the 11th May, haven't got around to booking accom just yet (should prob get on top of that). Im so glad that there are other people going on this trip. I was a tad nervous about heading off alone!

Hi Grant,
Hope you've booked the trip!

Hey Chris!
Where are you from? There's still plenty of time to book accomodation!! i still have to plan my first few days after i arrive in
London..wow it seems so strange to be talking about arriving in a different country!

Is anyone planning to travel after the contiki? I have two months of travelling after in which i plan to travel down to Spain and also down to Croatia and maybe Greece. I'll probably also go back and spend more time in any countries i enjoyed or didn't see enough of on the contiki trip.

Should we start a Facebook group for our trip??
Does everyone have facebook?
It would make it easier than communicating on this discussion board.

Hope to hear back from you all
Kim

hey guys...

I havent been able to get on here to reply to you all,but im stoked there are more of us going on this trip...wow 3mths 1wk to go...im trying save all my pennies at the moment,its going to be soo worth it!!
