Hi guys

I've got one day in London before the tour starts and then spending about a week in London after the tour to check it out a bit. After that heading to Germany to visit some relatives over there. All up it's about a 2 month trip!
I'm already a bit worried about the luggage limit!! Just got back from a 3 week trip over east and I took 2 suitcases with me so I'm going to have to learn to cut back on taking so much with me!!!

I'm worried about the weight thing as well... I'm reasonably tall so for me - a pair of jeans, shoes and a jumper weighs a fair amount (not to mention takes up quite a bit of room), so I am going to have to put a lot of thought into my luggage before we head off.

I arrive in London 13 days before the tour, and in that time I'm hoping to get to Liverpool to see some family, then to Spain for La Tomatina and back to London for a few nights before the tour. Afterwards I have about 6 days before I leave from London and I am hoping to get to Ireland in that time - and a few nights in Brunei on the way home to get some zzz's on a beach somewhere.

Hi Kath

I'm from Sydney. I turn 23 in a couple of weeks. I'm very excited! Red Face)

I haven't done any tours before, so the anticipation of going on one is building. That, and i've hear plenty of funny stories! Red Facep
