Hi!
I'm a 23yr old, female from Wellington, New Zealand and am keen to chat to anyone departing on the 24th.  I've been planning this for months so can't WAIT to see Europe and meet lots of people!!  Only 4 weeks to go!
Have been living in England with family for the last 2 months and working in a bar to save some money, though not easy in this country!
Gonna cruise round the Greek isles after the tour.

Malaika xx

Hi all,

Just 9 days left!  I can hardly contain my excitment.  Yeah Paris will be amazing, not to mention all the hot french men!  And after that we've got the Spanish and Italians to look forward to, hehehe.

Just a random question - does anyone know if we cross the English Channel by ferry or through the tunnel?

Well, see you all soon, gonna be a blast!!

Malaika :-)

Hey Mal,
I'm leaving for London next Thursday night, i can't believe how quick the last few weeks have gone! Have my suitcase packed already, but having a small dilema with How much is too much? It's under 20kgs so i spose that's the main thing! Have you started packing yet? Has anyone?
Well see you when you get to the Royal, We'll make sure the bar is well stocked for everyone.

Manz (Amanda) - Most people call me that for short, so i don't mind if you guys do too.
See ya's

Hi guys,

Yep, not long to go now.  Also, only a week till i finish my job - thank god!  No more sleezy drunken men and beer dripping into my shoes (i work in a bar by the way).
I am so looking forward to being on the other side of the bar when we all meet before the tour!
Haven't started packing yet, but will soon, but i'm sure i'll end up bringing way too much - i always do.  As long as you can lift your bag though, it's ok.
What is everyone most looking forward to on the tour?  I can't wait to see Italy and ......Amsterdam, hehe!  Though it's all going to be amazing.  I'm not going to want to go back to the real world.

Anyway, can't wait to meet you all,

Take care,
Malaika xxx

Hey Amanda,

Sounds like the Royal National Hotel is the place to be. I think a pre drink with the group is a must, I'll know I'll need one after flying for 23 hours from Melbourne.

I'm arriving at the Hotel the morning of the 22nd, should be great to settle in a bit and see the sights. My mates will have already been in Europe for 2 weeks and they are meeting later that night at the hotel.

Can't wait to meet everyone, and have some fun, hopefully come back home with a few stories.

Speak soon,

Sam

Hey All

Can't wait to meet everyone... Should be a great experience... And by the sound of all the people ~ should be some great partying to be done in the next month or so... :P

Haven't started packing yet - but not sure how I will fit all of it especially since I will be staying on in London after the tour is over on a working visa.... So I think there may be some hard times ahead for me.... And some arguments with people about what I should and should not take...

Anyway... Everyone take care till we all meet soon!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers

Mel xox
