Is anyone going on the May 31, 2007 European Highlights tour?

Hi! I'm signed up for the 5/31/07 tour too! Are you going solo?

Yes, I am. Where are you comming from?

I'm coming from Milwaukee, WI. I'm actually going to be arriving in London on the 31st so I have a little extra time there. How about yourself?

I am comming in from Miami, FL and arriving on the 1st at 6:20 am. If the Contiki basement in London has a place to store my luggage, I would like to explore the city before checking into the hotel. Is this your first trip with Contiki?

That should certainly give you some time to look around. This is my first trip with Contiki? Have you been on any before? Any suggestions?

This will be my second trip to Europe, but my first with Contiki. (I scheduled a trip for '05 but I had to cancel it. I decided to go back to school and my trip date conflicted with the start of my program. This year, that will not happen -- it's my graduation present to myself!)

What to bring? I've been reading the message boards on 'trip advice' and found this useful link posted by the Contiki moderator eastboca: www.eastboca.net/EuroPan/BeforeYouGo.html

One thing for sure, my cell phone is staying at home and I am bringing extra copies of my traveling documents. Other than that, all my clothing will be travel friendly!

By the way, how old are you? Male? Female? I am 28 (29 in May) and a female.

That's some good information. I'll be 22 in May and am also a female. This is also kind of a graduation present to myself!

May what? I'm on the 2nd.

What are / did you graduate from? I'll be graduating with a degree in Elementary Education on May 12th.

By the way, my name is Arlette.

It's the 21st, and my name is Leslie. I'm graduating on the 12th also, but with a degree in actuarial science and finance.

What do you want to teach?

So far, it looks like 2nd grade regular education (all subjects). Actuarial science and finance... I take it you like math and statistics? Are you currently working in the field?

Off topic.. how is the weather in Milwaukee? Here in Miami, it's back to beach weather (cold fronts don't last).

I give you credit, you must be good with kids. Yes, I like math, it's certainly what I'm strongest in. I'm not working in the field yet. I'm graduating in May, and then I'll be starting in July on the east coast.

I'm actually in Iowa right now for school, but the weather is pretty similar to Milwaukee...cold. There's been weather advisories here because with wind chill it feels like it's -20.
