Hey Rod and Dea

I'm also going on the Vista Aug 6 - 27. Been a few months since I booked but time is flying and only four and half months to go. Going with a friend and it's gonna be my third contiki!

Cheers
Adam

hi adam!
wow you're 3rd contiki?? you must have enjoyed them a lot!! can't wait- but the time seems to be dragging! feels like ages to go
dea

Yep I've caught the travel bug! Have you been on contiki before? they are soooo much fun.

Only 3 and a half months to go. The time will fly. We get into London on 3rd August for a bit of pretour sight seeing.

I'm 26 and live in little old Adelaide. So what about you.....same for anyone else out there going on the same tour.

Dea, like you I am and international and contiki virgin, so as you can imagine I am VERY excited. Will be travelling with my boyfriend, which will be great! Cant wait to meet you all!!

Hi all,
I am going on the European Vista starting on August 27 till 17 September, I'm going by myself but after the tour a few mates and I are heading to Munich for the beer fest for four days should be great, don't know anyone else who is doing the tour on the 27th though

Hi All!

My friend and I will also be on this contiki trip from August 6th to 27th. We can't wait! Looking forward to meeting you all real soon!

Niki

Hey
I'm NOT going on your trip but i've travelled with Contiki and would like to offer some advice:
If you plan on taking a credit card to Europe, you may want to call your credit card company to let them know you'll be travelling so they don't think the card has been stolen and cut you off.

Another thing I recommend is carrying your cash in a money belt, I find it safer.

Plan on spending $100-$150 USD per day. You'll have to buy lunches daily, souveneirs, some dinners and going out at night. You should try exchanging money before you leave. You'll have to chance to do so on the tour, but easier to get that part out of the way and have one less thing to worry about.


When you pack, throw some clothing into your carry-on to lighten the weight of the suitcase and in case your luggage gets lost. Leave room for souveneirs & carry with you an extra copy of your pasport and hotel address list.

In terms of weight of luggage, it's the airlines that are more strict than Contiki. Each airline has their own weight threshold & will only be too glad to charge you extra for going over. You can find out the limit/rules by going on the airline's website.


Feel free to ask me anything else.

Beaches & Reefs '02-'03
