yes sir! im keeping track. any of you have facebook?

12 people now?

8 + deb + fr8as and 2 mates.

= Ms C.B.

hmmm...guess it's a bit hard keeping track with some bringing a buddy or few...I agree, there's at least 12 of us here... more will just be a bonus.

Have you guyz started/finished packing?

started?? who started? im not even close...but then again, im not bringing much...tshirts, jeans, shorts, a dress shirt or 2...what else really do i need? haha

sorry Ms C.B.

havent even started. i have no idea what to bring. its 11 days, so....11 days worth of clothes? haaha

I think if we just bring clothes and money we are ok. i think sleeping bags are provided from what i've read in the booklet they sent.

-oj

hmmmm weird it keeps changing my name back to explorer instead of orangedrink...

anyways, anyone know how the weather will be like when we go?

ha ha! You boyz have it too easy for packing! I'm going to wait for Deb or another of us gals to get another answer on that one.

Yep, I've started but will be packing light. It's enough to try and drag myself out of bed early in the morning (plz don't remind me about that part...) but lugging an overpacked suitcase everywhere is so not worth it.

Travelling from certain countries gets a sleeping bag pickup. OJ where are you from?

As long as it doesn't rain where we are and it's warmer than what we're having here, I'll be happy. Whatever happens, happens. No turning back now!! Best to check the weather for our stops closer to departure. I've been seeing a range of 20C-32C.

haha. Oh I forgot.... shoes. Can't forget to bring shoes.

Yea me too, I'm thinking light luggage and a backpack for camera and other stuff.

I'm coming from California. Cant wait to get out of here, I hate summer in the valley. Plus I need a break from work.... work is killing me!

I'm really excited.

California weather on its worst day is probably better than Ontario weather this summer hahaha...Its been a joke, Sun one day, and then rain the next 5...Its not usually like this but this year has just made me want to leave for vacation even more!

And yeah we do have it easy, whatever happens happens is right! :P lmao

the count down begins!!! wooooooooooo

I heard that you need to bring a sleeping bag because this tour is a concept tour.. So you might just want to bring that sleeping bag unless you don't mind sharing!

Hi fr8as, I read that sleeping bags are provided. There was a voucher in my contiki booklet they sent. Let me confirm that. Did anyone else see or read that?

Camping and Concept/Budget Tours
If you are traveling on a Camping or Concept/Budget Tour you should also pack:

Towel – perhaps a quick dry towel if you like to shower on the departure mornings so you won’t have to pack a wet towel in your luggage
Sleeping bag
Toilet tissue
Flashlight

Hey Fr8as,

I might be different depending on where everyone is coming from, because when I spoke with a rep from Contiki when I was booking they informed me that we picked up the provided sleeping bags the first night in London when the tour group meets. I could have misunderstood her, but I am pretty sure that they are given to us


Hopefully ) or else I am sleeping on the cold tile hahaha

It is true that a sleeping bag is required for this trip but it is also true that some of us will receive a voucher (should be in your travel wallet they sent you) to get a sleeping bag from the Contiki basement. Don't quote me, but I think CAN/USA are covered by voucher. Best to check with your booking agent if you're unsure.
