Hey Guys
I haven't booked yet - but I am thinking about the March 10th date as well, as I have a plane ticket booked already and arrive in London on March 6 as well.  I am very excited about it - just waiting to see if a friend of mine is coming as well.  How old are you guys? 

Look forward to hearing from you

Hi all,

Good to hear there are some Aussies on the tour!

My friend and I will be staying at the Royal National as well so if anyone wants to meet up before the tour, even hit some night spots if your willing?

Anyone been to London before or even the places on the tour? I know it?s going to be cold but how cold is cold? I?m from Sydney and love the heat!!! never been to the snow? I know I didn?t pick the right season for warmth but it?s the only time off work that I could get!

Hey Canadian Girl!!! Book book book!!! Even if your friend doesn?t come you can hang out with us Aussies Since you asked? 24.

Paul

Hey Again!!!!

I don't think it is that cold in March - but then again I am Canadian I can handle the cold weather!!!!  Plus it will be way warmer in Europe then Canada in March. 

I know if my friend doesn't come I will book anyways so do not worry you will see me there.  I am 25 since you told me how old you are

Hi Guys,

By Aussie standards it'll be cold expect Canberra winter weather, below 20 Deg Celsius in the day time and maybe some night time sub zero temps in Austria and Switzerland. Italy and the south of France will probably be the warmest.

Definitely/Hopefully some snow on Mt Pilatus !!

It'd be great to catch up before the tour and have a few too many beverages !!

4 months and 7 days to go, the countdown is on.  I'm 26 and work for Qantas in Government Relations.

Be good !!

Hey guys/gals, I'm 25 and my mate thats coming is 23. I'll actually be celebrating my 26th b'day during the trip on the 17th March, so we'll have to make that night a big one! Hang on, I guess they are all gonna be big ones!! Can't wait =)

Hey Since were going to be sharing a trip of a life time i thought i?ll share some info so were not complete strangers

Like i said im 24 from Sydney, born and raised. My family originally from Europe. Love the beach, gym, outdoors and the ball and chain of work :S i?m a typical Libran? for those astrologers!!

Work for Sony Music in disc label printing but i?m progressing to the computer graphic arts side of it. Computers are more my thing.

How many days now Scotty Working for Qantas would have meant airfare discount? should have known you before i booked my ticket Are you travelling solo?

Hatts it looks like your going to have a Roman birthday. Should we confess our sins at the Vatican and then get absolutely trashed and go for a swim in the Trevi fountain

later

Paul

Hi to all !!

Hatts.....It looks like Friday the 17th will be a big night in Rome !  Now that Paul's suggested it and seeing that we'll be away for the Commonwealth Games.........You'll have to give us all our sporting fix with your best impression of Thorpey winning Gold in the Trevi Fountain !!!!!!!!

Paul, working for sony should qualify you for the job of bus music producer !!  My flights over will be awesome with a skybed already reserved !

At this stage i'll be travelling solo for this trip, I have few mates currently living in London who may still book, but we'll wait and see, at least we know of 6 starters !!

My story is that i'm currently in Canberra working for Qantas and was originally from North Queensland. (Mackay is my home town)  Enjoy the gym, rugby, all sports and socialising.  I need a break from the grind of Canberra and dealing with our Parliamentarians so this trip is going to be a big one !

4 months and two days !!!!

Be good guys !!!!!

Hahaha, I'm sure all of Rome will know we've been thru after that night! What ever we do it will be huge =) Maybe a late night swim, will be on the cards.

Skybed ay, I bet you've got it all sorted scotty! I just joined the qantas club so i'll be making the most of that when i can. I like the idea of Paul sorting the tunes for the bus. Doesn't matter how many of us are on the trip we'll get the bus pumping. By the sounds of it we may be the ones getting the party started! It will be awesome what ever the case.

A bit about me. I'm an undercover agent working for ASIO... Not really but I might try that with a few people anyway I'm do a homer simpson type job at an oil refinery, though it's not all donuts and cups of coffee. I've been there for 7 years, done a bit of travelling mainly to Bali but this is the biggest of my trips. It's gonna be HUGE!!

2912 hours to go!

woooohooooo!

Hey guys

If you want music then ive go music!! im getting my friend Angie the Sony mp3 player for the trip. She wants to take 20 gigs of music! I think she should be the designated DJ :P ohh and a bit about my friend? 23, web page designer, Sydney girl. I?ll try to get her to post a message too. We want to do the Egypt Contiki too in fact every year I want to do one!!

A skybed, its making me drool! Im going to be stuck in economy. I don?t know how im going to last, ive never been on a trip longer than an hour :S Have you guys seen eurotrip? Im so looking forward to Amsterdam.

My email for future reference paulvarga@bigpond.com probably closer to the trip im going to need major advice :S
