After six months of work, my travelogue is finally ready! I did the Ultimate European w/Egypt option in the summer of 2006, and here is an account of every day of my experience (as well as some independant travel). I hope you all enjoy it and don't forget to sign my guestbook!

I'm going on the UE leaving July 1 and came across Dave's travelogue in looking around this site and I fully agree with SamanthaT.....VERY addicting! Only problem is that I am done reading it now and still have 3 months until I leave on my trip and after reading how much fun Dave had I can't wait for my trip!! Congrats on the travelogue Dave, time well spent for future UE members!


Cheers,
Paul

Definitely worth the hours it takes you to read it! Dave has done an absolutely fantastic job, he certainly gives a great insight into what to expect when doing the Ultimate European.

Cant wait for my trip in August!

Dave, just wanted to tell you that this was phenomenal work. I spent weeks reading it in my downtime at my job and I was absolutely riveted! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this. This was very informative and I feel like I have a sense of the real Contiki experience!
