Hi I am going on the Eastern Road Tour Sept 9-21st. I am travelling on my own. This will be my 4th Contiki tour, 2nd on my own. I am from Canada. Has any one else signed up for this date yet?

I just booked for this trip today! I'm also traveling on my own. This will be my second contiki trip but first time going alone. I'm from California. Can't wait for the trip.

I booked my trip today! I am travelling on my own too! This will also be my second Contiki tour.

I am getting excited already, even though it is 5.5 months away!. I am thinking about taking a German course just to get some communications skills before I go. Do you think German is the best choice for this tour?

Hey everyone! I can't wait until Sept arrives, I'm ready for vacation now! I was wondering if anyone else is flying into Berlin on Sept 9th? This is my first time doing a Contiki tour alone, so I'm a little nervous, but very excited about it. Well I hope you are all doing well!

Hi Yvonne!
I am flying into Berlin on the 9th and I think my flight arrives at 1 PM. I am also staying an extra night in Berlin after the tour. I am getting excited and now wished I had booked the trip for sooner!

Kim

Hey Kim!

You're smart to stay an extra day. I wish I had done that also. Unfortunately I'm leaving the day the tour ends. I believe my flight arrives into Berlin around 10:30am. I really need a vacation. By any chance do you have AIM or myspace? Well talk to you later!

Just checked the dates for this and I don't see a Sept 9-21 date. I see a Sept 8-21/2007 and Sept 10-23/2007. Is this Sept 9-21 sold out?
I'm also thinking of going to this trip alone and was interested to know who's going.

I'm also from Canada.

Hey Kim & Yvonne,

I too will be doing the 9-21 tour, being my first tour I'm pretty nervous, but it should be fine as I will be doing another Contiki about a a month before this one, July 07.

I'm travelling with my best mate & we are from Sydney. We will also be getting in a day early and leaving a day after the tour ends.

Hope to see you there.

The September 9-21, is listed as 8-21 in the book for Canada, but I think for other countries, it is 9-21. It says the 8th because that is when you leave Canada, and you will arrive and the tour starts on the 9th.

I am excited to meet everyone, only 2 months (and a few days) to go! I better start practicing my phrases from my Eastern European phrase book.

I am picking up my tickets tonight! I am excited! only 1 month until we depart (and a couple of days)!!!

Hi Everyone! I am goning on the Sept 9th - 21st tour. I can't wait. This is my second Contiki tour. I am flying into Berlin from New York and arrive early on the 9th. Does anyone else arrive early? I would like to venture through Berlin with someone that day.....anyone intersted?

Is everyone getting excited for the trip? A few more weeks to go!! I arrive into Berlin on the 9th around 10am. So I'm definitely in for venturing the city. AsheeRebel, what airline are you going to use? I'm using Delta airlines and flying from LAX to NYC, with a 4 hour layover there =/, before heading to Berlin. Well hope everyone is doing well!
~Yvonne

Yvoten.....I am flying Continental from NYC and arriving in Berlin at 8am! We could meet at the hotel lobby once you arrive.
