Hi Ami - I will be leaving for the Euro Vista on 18 October. I think it ends 2 days before this one starts.

i'm taking a suitcase and I guess a carry on bag, are you bringing 2 bags or just one? I'm kind of an over packer so im going to try very hard to contain myself. And yes it will be late autumn I read that the average temp. would be around 55 degrees. Were you thinking about bringing dresses or anything like that to go out in? I'm not really sure what to expect. Did you get your plane tickets and itinerary yet?

Ha ha ... I understand! I have trouble packing as well. I will definitely be bringing an extra carry bag. I haven't thought about stuff for going out - are you taking something? Where are you staying before the tour? I think I'll be back in London.

cool! you just have about another month. i leave for ireland on october 14th.

i'm packing as light as i can since i'm gonna be going around a lot before the tour. not sure exactly what i am going to bring but i got a nice jacket today and some new walking shoes!

the night before the tour i'm staying in a hostel in rome.

either of you staying in italy after the tour? i'm staying one extra night.

I'm still deciding what to do - what hostel are you staying in? Is it one of the Contiki ones?

the night before the tour i'm staying at a hostel called the Beehive. haven't booked anything for the night after the tour yet. i didn't know contiki had hostels?

I've just picked up my tickets ... starting to get excited now! Wonder how many people are on this tour?

Hi, I am also on the Nov 8 tour. It is coming up quickly... very exciting!

I cant believe that the trip starts so soon!! i'm a little nervous i still have not recieved my itinerary!

Really? I got mine a little while ago but I am still nervous about it. Are you planning to purchase the pass in advance so that you can go to some of the museums?

Can't believe how fast this trip is coming, guess I should probably start packing. You started?

i am going on Simply Italy on Novemeber 8 aswell! It took me ages to find this page... but i am now very happy! I was a bit worried too that there may not be that many people because it will be so cold and all that, but i think it will be awesome nonetheless!

Love Sam

Hi all

Just confirmed my booking for this one last week. Can't wait, only 12 weeks until I leave for Europe.

Dear Sam009 and MikeQ

The posts previous to yours were for the tour that started 8 November 2008.
