still about 40 more to go i really hope it doesnt get cancelled but i highly doubt


I'm locked in! Deposited today.. so you crowd better take care of me.. heh.
Yeah, like I said.. I'll be in the UK before the tour.. and after (sort of open ended.. my return ticket is officially 15th of December, but it's flexible) so.. yeh. Closer to the date we should work out things and organise a drink (or many) before the tour.

Hangovers are the best when you are meeting people for the first time, right? :S

Actually that's something that's worrying.. hangovers on the tour bus. Guess I might have to stay drunk to avoid that.

Sweet your booked in how exiting for you... and us one more person on the bus. Hmm Hangovers hey. Im hoping that for some magical reason we can all get plastered and then the next day well be fine. Hopfeully Hangovers dont apply when your overseas. Holiday Rules or something. FINGERS CROSSED...So what made you decide to go it alone???

Why am I going on my own? Difficult to answer quickly.. there are a couple reasons.
The simplest answer is that there's nobody to go with (people with the money and the time) but the reason I am traveling is sort of a finding myself adventure.. which would be hard with someone else.

In the first bit I will actually be over there with my brother in-law. Not sure how much time we will see each other though.

Cool sounds like youve got a plan!!! how exiting. I think its easier travelling solo when your a guy. its a tad scary when your a girl on your own.... so many nasty people out there. At least youll be able to do whatever you want to do with no one to compromise with!!! Smiler

That's the thought. Nobody to compromise with.. no obligations.. living freeeeeee.

I'm a bit worried that I have no plans and probably not enough cash to stay there as long as I'd like.. but I'm sure people worry about that often.

If your ticket flexible, or do you have to fly out 2 days after? I don't even know how long I'll be around for.

I was even considering Couch Surfing (Google it if you don't know) and I have family around Europe (England, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany) I might be able to score some cheap accommodation to extend my time... not depending on it though.

I actually hope that people on the tour head on after, giving me some company... maybe on the way to Greece, Portugal.. anywhere.

Hey guys!! yay we have someone else coming too!!! When we booked our trip the flight centre dude said that there were only a couple of spots left, (unless he was pissing in my pocket) hopfully it wont get cancelled.

It would be good to catch up before the tour for a quiet one or two 3 4 5 6 7 ha ha ha. IM AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!! bring on europe!!!

And if anybody is looking to catch up for a drink before the tour starts I hear the pub at Generator Hostel is pretty good, plus it is a good night's sleep there and it is pretty cheap as well! Or so the travel agent said...

Hey there Sammy..
I hear the tour is booked out, so there must be a lot of people that are not on these forums (yet)
I was going to try out the Generator Hostel.. there's one in London and one in Berlin, I believe.. hear it's like staying in a space ship.

Good to hear from you eh.
Where are you from?
