HI Laurie,

Jen from NYC here. I will be on that tour traveling with a friend.
We did the Southern Ireland tour last year and had a great time.
Is this your first trip?

Jen

Hi Jen,
This is my first trip with contiki..it's great to hear that someone is going!!
I am from Montreal, I am really anxious..would love to hear more about you and your friend... Are you practicing some Italian??  Ciao Laurie

I going to sign up next week for the august 8th trip.   Hopefully there will be alot fun people.

HI Baller,
Nice to hear that you are joining us on Aug 8th for Italy..You can reserve through a travel agent or through Contiki..Has for travelling alone that's what I am doing, travelling alone is the majority...
If no indiscretion, are you a guy or girl?? Where are you from in the States?? I am from Montreal.
Anyways, nice to hear from you and hope to see you  on the trip!!!
Laurie

I didnt know it was majority.  Was scared alot people came with
friends.  I am a guy.  I  am coming from  Los
Angeles, California.  I went to Montreal with family 2 summer ago
it was great.  Love that city.

Is anyone staying an extra on the Simply Italy tour.  Just wondering want to maybe stay 2 extra days.

Hi..
I am not  staying xtra nights...but I'm sure it's a great idea!! Have you booked the trip yet?? I am practicing a bit of italian..it is going to be a magnificent adventure..
You are fron california..I have never been..Where in  LA are you from??
How old are you ??
Well if you have any questions don;t be shy!!
Laurie

No booking end of the week.  Going to book flight and and tour separatley because it is much easier.  I was wondering if u or anyelse in the tour want to book any museums that contiki wont take us on.  I heard ufizi and academia book fast.  That is a bummer. I wish someone can extend for 2 days.  I am 19 turning 20 in june.  It should be easier for you u to learn italian because you speak french and they are very similar.  HTe city in LA is called Woodland HIlls its in the valley near were jessica simpson used to live calabassas.

Hi Baller,
If you reserve with contiki ,I think you get a better price, obviously depending on what airline you are taking.
Wishing you the best and let me know when you book??
Laurie
