Hey everyone just wanted to start a thread for this tour so people can get to meet each other. Only 9 months away. Stop in and say hi if you are taking this tour. Also I can try to answer some questions.
A little about me. My name is Frank and I have traveled with Contiki in Europe for 3 weeks and had a blast. I will be doing this tour along with a tour in New Zealand.
Hey Frank! My name is Lindsey and it turns out that I thought that I was doing the beaches and reefs the regular tour but then it turns out that I'm doin the reverse one! So I guess that means we are on the same tour. I am travelling solo, this is my first time travelling anywhere other than disneyland. I'm from Vancouver BC and I'm so excited for this tour!
Hey My name is Ilandi! I'm taking this tour too! I'm also traveling solo. I'm next door to you Lindsey. I'm from Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta! Just outside Edmonton.
Hey neighbor! Im really looking forward to this trip! It should be alot of fun! Have you ever traveled too Australia before? Or ever traveled with Contiki before?
I'm so excited for this too! I realized I'm doing the Beaches and Reefs with the sailing. I couldn't find a forum for it though so I don't know if you two are sailing too?! No I have never travelled to Australia, or traveled with Contiki. But I have done a lot of travelling with my family. What about you?
Hey! No I'm not doin the sailing I dont think. I have never been to Australia either or traveled with Contiki. I havent traveled much at all, just to Disneyland with my family a couple times but nothing too far! Have you thought about any extras you want to do on the tour yet?
Hey! Oh Disneyland, I went to DisneyWorld haha. Well I went sky diving here just outside Edmonton, so I am thinking of going sky diving in Australia too it's so fun I love it, except for here I went in September and it was cold and we went threw the clouds and the snow did not feel good hitting my face at that speed so in Australia it should be better! And in South Africa I went for surf lessons so I'm thinking some more surf lessons in Australia will be fun too. I was also thinking of the Bungee Jumping haha I love these extreme sports! Sandboarding possibly too? There are so many choices I don't know which ones to do. What about you? Any decisions? I will be 19 for this trip I was wondering how old everyone else on this tour will be?
Hahaha ya there are alot of choices. I'm trying to convince myself to do the skydiving but I'm scared of heights so I don't know. But surfing yes! Sandboarding yes! It will a really good time! I will have just turned 20 when the trip comes around! What place are you most excited to see?
Skydiving is awesome! It's not scary at all it doesn't even feel like you're falling its so nice and relaxing. It's so quiet once the parachute is out and you're just flying haha. I turn 19 in July so I will be 19 for the trip I'm really excited. I don't know what I'm most excited to see I am just happy I will be on the beach I'm pretty excited to go scuba diving cause I have never done that before!!
Hey Everyone! Im on this tour as well, i cant wait! Im traveling with a friend named Lauren. We are both 18 and have never been to Australia or been on a Contiki tour. Wow alot of Canadians so far. Were from Calgary Ab.
Well it should be a good time! I used to live in Calgary! We still have our house there so I still go there lots! I went to Lord Beaverbook High. Which school did you go to?
Hey Well were actually from Okotoks like 15 min outside of calgary. I just put Calgary because not many people would have a clue where Okotoks is So i went to school at the Foothills Composite High School.
Oh alright ya I know where Okotoks is! Are you doing the sailing too?
I would love to stay longer. I'm just there for an extra night before and after for now. But I might extend my stay which will be nice! I will see how it goes.
So i went to school at the Foothills Composite High School.
