Heya everyone

I too will be doing the Grand Northern on the 4th of May 2007 ... doing the Grand Southern from the 7th of April 2007. Really looking forward to it. Travelling alone for the first time, so exciting. Never been to USA before. What were your highlights if you've been before and what are you looking forward to seeing.

From London, England ... am I gonna be the only Brit!? lol

Am actually going to Oz, Tazmania and NZ before so if you have any local tips of great places to see and things to do I would be most greatful.

Cheers,
Kas

Hey Bianca

What was the highlight/s of the grand southern then? As it gets nearer it gets even more exciting!

25 is a fab age. Quarter of a century (once you get over that it is grand! lol) We must have a proper bday drink out there then. Have you worked out where we are gonna be on the big day?

Hi Karini,

Rhe Grand southern was an awesome trip, the best one i have done. Best parts is hard to pick as they all had some sort of memories attached. Las veags, Graceland, grand Canyon, dallas ( probably for the JFK museum and also got to see a gridiron game), washington DC, New York they were all high on the list of favs.

You must be from London if you want to do a Neighbours tour lol (kidding), some places to visit in melb would be Crown casino and south bank, if your into sports, a tour of the MCG, also visit the Victoria Markets and aquiriuem (how ever you spell it) Melbourne Central for shopping, always something to do in melb.

Oh and by the way, its a red hat im wearing not purple hair Razzer

Feel free to drop me a line if you like
hawksandrew@hotmail.com

chat soon

Andrew

What is Gridiron?

I hear the Smithson museums are fab too.

Yup, I come from London ... the Neighbours loving capital of the world! And yes, before you ask I did have the Kylie and Jason t-shirt (I will aslo be the person who is majorly embarrassed about this on the tour! lol ... hey, who am I kidding!? I'll be proud!)
