A couple of days ago I noticed this tour was almost full, but now it's back to a definite departure status. So that means a few people have pulled out then???

Yeah I noticed that too. Plenty of time to replace them :P

Hi all!

Getting really close now... woo hoo! Just wondering who is staying at the Royal National before we leave? I will be there the night before...

I'm in London from the 22nd May, but am staying with friends. I'll just turn up on the 1st and hope I haven't missed the bus :P

Less than 1 month to go Has anyone else got their travel documents yet? Bit of a mystery with hotels yet to be confirmed for Rome and Venice.

heyy im james 19 from sydney and singLe.. im just working out if i should do this trip or the best of usa trip haha i no they are both very different but mabe someone can help influence my decision? i cant wait to travel and meet new people, which would be more suitable for partying it up? thanks x

Hi James,

I did best of USA last year and it's a different breed of contiki trip to most others. For starters you fly between cities as opposed to bus. Secondly you get a couple of "free days" in each city where a lot of people split up and go and do their own thing.

However it was an excellent trip and i can not fault it. Vegas and New York are simply amazing. So amazing I stayed on for another 4 days in New York before returning back to Vegas.

I cant really comment on Vista, as it will be my first European contiki and my first bus orientated tour.

I just noticed your only 19, so I would steer clear of the USA until your 21 so you can legally drink/enter casinos. We had one 19yr old girl on our tour, and she had to spend most of the time by herself as they check your ID everywhere.

So the conclusion is Vista in my opinion.

wow haha thats quite decision changing... cause i mean im pretty keen to go out to bars clubs drink experience night life etc and if u have to be 21 then im ****ed really :S hmmm cheers for that insight and feedback man

Yes, yes!! I got my docs about a week ago. Yeah I saw the 'pending confirmation' for hotels in those cities.. Well, as long as we're not sleeping in a cardboard box on the side of the road, we'll be right

Are you excited???

Hell yeah I'm excited! And who sleeps on contiki anyway :P I think I was running on 3 hours a night last year
