Hey all,

I just booked my European Encounter Contiki tour today! My sister and I will be departing the US on July 17th, the tour begins July 19th in London finishing up in Paris on August 3rd. I only wish it were summer already, I can barely wait! Anyone else planning on taking the July 17th - August 3rd tour?

Hope to hear from someone,
Shannon

Hi Shannon

Look forward to meeting you both.

Hey Krysti,

I am so glad to finally hear from someone that will be on the same tour! I was beginning to think that I wouldn't have the chance to meet any of our tour mates online before the trip. I am 18 years old, and my sister is 22 years old. How about you and your boyfriend? Again, I am so glad to hear from you! We can't wait to meed the two of you either.

Oh, and for some reason I haven't been able to log in on my other Contiki account, so this is my new one.

Hey Tracey!

It's Shannon, I'm on my sisters account this time. Sorry it has taken me so long to respond, we've been on vacation this past week and a half.

Like you said, the tour is just around the corner. Less than a week to go infact! My friends just returned from their Contiki vacation and have been showing me their pictures, sharing all of their stories with me and giving me lots of advice and tips, needless to say I am EXTREMELY excited! I can barely wait. Now I just have to get everything in order and go buy a few last minute things...

We will be staying at Contiki's Imperial Hotel at the start of the tour. What about you?

Take care,
Shannon
