Hi everyone,

Just booked my first trip to Europe!!! Since I'm going solo, I hope to get acquainted with my travel mates before the tour date. Hope to hear back from you.

Cheers,
~Lily.

Hey Lily,

I'll be going on the May 26 tour as well! Like you, this my first trip to Europe and I'll be going solo.

I'm from Vancouver, Canada, 24 yrs old, with way too little travel experience...

I had some friends recommend this trip to me...sounds like a great way to see a lot of Western Europe in a short amount of time...I plan to go back and visit the places I really enjoy.

So how did you decide on this trip?

cheers

Jason

Hi Jason,

I'm in similar boat as you are. 24-yr old, Californian, and in need of traveling outside of the States. My goal for this trip is exactly like yours: get an overview of the Western Europe, and come back next year on the particular favorite spots. Your english is pretty good. Do you speak French also?

~Lily.

Hey Lily,

Nice, good to know someone else in the same situation is coming along!

Unfortunately I only speak a little French, so much for a bilingual nation!

Anyways, do have a facebook page? or MSN? My hotmail is jason4735@hotmail.com...might be an easier way to keep in touch.

cheers

Jason

I'm going on this trip as well, there are two threads for this trip apparently, and I've been posting on that one too. Anyway, I'm Alex, 21, from Tennessee, and I'm going with 2 other friends. Hit me up at alexbrinson@hotmail.com, or if you use AIM then its williamester, and I have facebook and myspace as well. Talk to you soon!

Hey Alex,

Thanks for responding to the post. I've added you to my myspace so check that out. When will your flight be landing in London? I'm still surfing for cheap airfare, but at this rate, I'm gonna pay dearly for waiting too long.

Cheers,
~Lily.

Hey Ali, I can't wait for May either. Looking forward to seeing you and your boyfriend. Which part of California are you at? so-cal or norcal?

Oh, question. What time is your departed flight from Amsterdam? I haven't booked my flight yet and wanted to get a feel of the time people are departing.

Catch you later,
~Lily.

lily,
i'm flying out of london on the return trip on june 17th (staying one extra night). do we need to book our own flight back to london from amsterdam? i did this through aaa and i didn't hear anything about that. thanks
ali

no, you don't have to book a flight from amsterdam to london if you're staying overnight. I'm heading back on june 16th, that's why i'm departing from amsterdam.

oh yeah, we're from socal, orange county. thanks for the info!
