Hey,

I booked my Contrasts trip for May 13th.  Anyone else going on this date?  Contiki listed it as a guaranteed departure, so it looks like a good date to book.  Unless my math was wrong, we'll be in Munich, Germany the exact day the World Cup first round games are  held there.  I am from the US and live in Pennsylvania.  I'm a 21 year old college student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP).  Get a hold of me if you're going on this trip.

Hey there Adam!

I am going to be on the May 13th European Contrasts trip and I can't wait!  It'll be my first time to Europe and I'm so anxious to get over there... but 'til then looks like I'll be working a ton.  I just graduated from the University of Iowa (which makes me 23) and I live in the Chicagoland area.  One of my really good friends might join me on the trip, but we're waiting to see if she gets in.  Regardless...I'm so excited!  Oh and if we can catch any of the World Cup action...that would be amazing!

Hey! I've booked this one as well. It's not an option to sign-up anymore so I guess all of the spots have already been filled?

Ummmmm. I'm Ashley, I'm 19, attending the University of South Carolina.

I've been to Japan by myself but I've never done one of these tour things. Like everyone else I'm pretty intimidated by spending a month with a a round of strangers, but I imagine it won't be that different from dorm life?

Does anyone know how we're going to do laundry when we travel so frequently?

Hey there Ashley and Jean,

Yeah I guess it is full it doesn't show up anymore.  Did your friend ever get in on it Jean?  I hope more people reply to this so we can get to know some other people on the trip.  I can't wait for this damn semester to be over...anyone feel free to contact me through here or e-mail me at a.mizdail@iup.edu

Gday everyone,     
                        I'm Jamie from Australia. I will be joining you guys on the contiki tour along with my 2 mates Glenn and Damien. Cant wait to get this tour underway seems like we've been waiting for ages. Damien and I will be staying in europe after the contiki has finished and Glenn will be coming back to Aus.  Planning to do some more travel but all depends on how the money situation is going.  None of us have ever really done proper travelling like this so we are itching to get out there, personally ive never left Australia my whole life and am counting down the weeks til it finally happens.  My email is jamie_melb@msn.com if anyone wants to get in cantact b4 the tour. Otherwise we'll be seeing you all on May 15 for a great european adventure. Oh and to answer your question Gaby i'm looking forward to Corfu, Prague, World cup and Amsterdam the most

Hey!  Hey!

Is it May 13th yet so I can leave this country or what?!  I'm gettin pretty anxious to spend some time abroad and I have some great news for ya'll... my friend got on the trip!  I'm so excited!  We're going to have a blast.  Ok, so I'm really excited for Corfu, Paris, and the French Riviera.  But let's get serious...I'm excited for the whole 31 days of European bliss.  Can't wait to meet everyone.  Talk to ya'll soon...

Wow.  1 month until we leave.  I'm pumped.  I also decided to stay for a little bit after the trip and head to Belgium to visit a friend.  Hope all is well with everyone, and I can't wait for May 13th!
