yep, it's my first trip to Europe... thought this tour would be a good 'taste-test' to see everything, and then do a more in depth trip later on (depending on finances!) ... oh, and I'm 25.

any one a seasoned professional and can offer advice? or are we all first-timers together!

It's my first trip to Europe as well, and my first time travelling alone. I'm exceited and nervous at the same time about it all... and I hope I can take in 8 weeks worth of memories without it all becoming a blur!

Are you adding any extra time outside the tour?

hi everyone
yes rach this is our first time in europe. my husband travels alot, he is in japan at the moment working. this will be my second overseas trip, we were in south africa this time last year. it was wonderful!
hi again donno, counting it down.......181 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
keep it going friends

hi everyone
its 169 days to go till we leave, 174 days till actual tour starts and we all meet!!!!!!! woooooooooo hoooooooooo.

It's my second trip to Europe.. I've been to Greece once and london twice. I Love both.

Not too much to worry about in Greece..It's pretty safe. I was there for a month visting family... You'll love the food and culture. But then again.. maybe i'm being biased?! hehehe

You prob know this already, but if you don't speak the language, they may try and rip you off. I've been told to be careful in Amsterdam and Italy with pick pocketing. And in Albania.

Zara.. ladies.. you'll love! save save save! it's throughout Europe wooohooo

Um.. don't pack to much. I'm only taking a weeks worth of clothes and then rotating them.
Plus if you plan on shopping.. you'll need room for everything you buy.

I'm staying in London a few days before. Is anyone else?

Hey again all

It's less than 23 weeks until I fly out now - I getting more and more anxious. I'm used to travelling in Asia, and I always thought that would hold me in pretty good stead. But this really is going to be completely different!

Can't wait anyway !

Fiona: I'm planning on being in London for a few days between La Tomatina and the 31st - so I should be around!

hi again everyone. we are in london for 2 days before the tour starts. 164 days till we leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where are the other punters? lol

Hi All

Myself and a mate booked this tour a few weeks ago. Travelling to America and Canada for a few weeks beforehand too. We are both 25yrs old, single, from Mount Gambier in SA, and have never travelled overseas before. Can't wait......going to great fun, and sounds like we all have the countdown going!!

hi again everyone
welcome andrew and also to your mate (un-named lol) and yes we have our count down. we leave in 106 days now, wooooooooooooo hooooooooo!!!!!

Hey everyone

Countdowns getting close to the big 100 days! Sounds like a few of us will be in London a few days before the tour starts.
Andrew: Have you decided on the mykonos or cruise option?

Hi Bel, we have decided on the Mykonos option - might need a rest by then (or just party harder coz we dont have to be up early in the morning for a few days lol). which one did u decide on?
we will be in london 2 days before the tour, and also for about a week afterwards.

Kath: sorry, my mates name is Adam.

Hi everyone,
