Hi,

Looking for anyone who is going on this tour.  I was planning on going on the May 5th, but it was sold out.

I am freakin out now because no one has posted anything for this date, so I am hoping this tour will go ahead.

I am travelling by myself, and this will be my 2nd contiki after completing an American tour a few weeks before hand.

Would like to get to know anyone going on this vista.  My email address is sjmk@bigpond.com


Regards
Sarah

Hi Sarah

I am doing the tour leaving May 9th...and I know how you feel because no one has posted anything for that date either.

Maybe our two tours will be combined? It's still awhile before we find out if it is going.

Hey Sarah,

I am going on this May 7th tour with two friends, just booked it last week.  We were originally going to go on the 5th tour as well but it was sold out by the time we wanted to book. So our travel agent said this is now a guaranteed departure so hopefully it fills up.

This will be my first Contiki tour ,as well as my first time outside of Canada!!  We are arriving in London a few days before the tour starts to check out some of London.

I am so excited, two months left....

Regards,
Cassandra

Hey Sarah,

I see no one has posted on this thread yet for the May 7th tour, but I just thought I would let you know that this tour is completely sold out, so it is a go ahead :-)  The reason I know it is sold out is that my cousin just tried today to book on this tour with my friends and I, and the travel agent told him that it is completely booked up and Contiki doesn't allow extra people on the tour.

Cheers,
Cassandra

Hi Sarah and Cassandra,

My name is Julie and my b/f and I are booked in for the Vista on the 7th of May. We are both 23 year old and from Australia. This is our first trip to Europe so we are really looking forward to it!

We were booked in for the tour on the 9th of May, but that was cancelled. I think we just got in time for the 7th, because it sounds like it is booked out.

We had to change our arrangements and now get into London on the 6th of May at about 8pm! So we are not going to be at the Royal until at least 9!! But we both still want to go out that night for pre drinks. What time do you guys get in?

Where abouts are you guys from?

Julie.

Hi Julie

I am from South Australia.  I am leaving Oz on Easter Saturday and flying to America.  My contiki in America is only for about 10 days, but I have about a week of leasure time before and after.

I think I am arriving in London on about the 2nd or 3rd of May.  Quite a few days beforehand anyway.  I am booked to stay at the Royal National for my whole stay in London as well as a couple of nights after the tour.

Only 3 weeks left for me which is scary as I have about 6 weeks of work to catch up on.  But I am really exicited and can't wait!!!

This is my first trip overseas and I am travelling alone.  Thought I betta do something with my life whilst I have the chance.

Can't wait to meet you all


Sarah

Hi Sarah,

Oh no you are from South Asutralia! ha ha! I am from Melbourne. You don't follow AFL do you?

Boy you are all over the place! You must be looking for to it!

How old are you? Are you at Uni or working full time?

So are you doing both America and Europe by yourself?

We have to go out got drinks the night before the contiki tour!!

Jullie.

Hey Julie

I managed to get on this tour aswell...due to a late cancellation!!!

Which is really good because going on the 14th was going to completely stuff everything else up.

Hi Sarah...I am travelling alone too, and am doing a second tour after this one. I am from Queensland.

I have a couple of questions for you guys...how big are your suitcases and what type of bag are you taking for the 'small handluggage'?

Donna

Hi Ann and Julz

I am from Toowoomba. It's good to see lots of other people travelling alone. I fly out May 3 so I am getting excited now, how about you?

How old are you what do you do etc?

Talk to you soon
Donna

Hey everyone,

I am from Calgary, AB Canada and I am travelling with two other friends. We are all gals aged 22 to 23.  We are flying out of Canada on May 3rd and spending a few days in London before the tour starts.  We are also staying at the Royal National. 

It would be good to meet up with everyone for drinks or dinner, before the tour starts. 

One month to go I am so excited.

Cheers
Cassandra

Hi Cassandra,

I am from Brisbane, Australia and I'm travelling on my own. I'm 22 and will be leaving Australia on 19th April and spending a couple of weeks in Devon UK. with my family before heading up to London. I'll be staying at the Royal National too.I'm looking forward to meeting you gals. Not long to go now and I'm still  disorganized.

Cheers
Ann

Hi Julie

It's nice to see that there will be some more Aussies on the May 7th Vista.  I lived in the UK for 12 years so I did a fair bit of travelling with my family during that time. It will be a bit daunting doing it solo this time but I'm really looking forward to meeting and making new friends. Will see you at the Royal on 6th.

Cheers
 Ann

Hey everyone!!

Gee there is a lot of Aussies on this tour! And most are from Queensland!

There is only a month until our tour leaves! Yeah!! I can't wait!

Looks like the tour will be packed with girls as well! Ha ha!

I was just wondering if everyone was going to do the Optional Excursions or not? I am thinking about doing most of them.

How much is everyone budgeting? I have got no idea if I am going to have too much money or not enough!

Cant wait to meet you all!

Julie.
