Hi Guys
I have also booked the GN trip on 12 September. I live in country NSW and just thought i would say HI to some fellow travellers. This is my first contiki tour and i am travelling alone. I will be arriving in NY the day before the trip and then spending 3 extra days in Anaheim to go to Disneyland and shopping.
It is exactly 3 months until i fly out of sydney and i can't wait.
Would love to hear from any of you guys.
Kylie

Hi Kylie Welcome aboard
great to have another person
I'm also from Sydney and it sounds like you are flying out around the same time from Sydney as what i am...who are you flying with? I'm flying with Qantas with stopover in LA 10.20am flight 11 Sep. I'm staying at the Days Broadway Hotel as the Marrakech was full. I will also be spending 3 days in anaheim to do the theme parks and the like so maybe we could do that together.
Where abouts do you live? I live in Penrith and i am 24. U?
You are going to have a ball. I am also travelling solo. This is my 2nd year of contiki tours and i can't wait to go again.

Hi Tracie
I am flying with Qantas and leave on the 1020am flight from sydney. I think i was lucky my travel agent got me a room at the Marrakech for the 11 sept and then i am staying at the Best Western in Anaheim at the end of the tour. It would be great to have someone else to do the rides at the themepark with. I have been told that the teacups is a must in rides. I have orders to go to the bear factory at disneyland for my two nieces.
I live in Yass which is around 30 minutes to Canberra and 3 hours to sydeny. I am 28.
I am down to counting in weeks and shortly it will be days.
Kylie

Hi Kylie,
it sounds like we are going to be on the same flight from Sydney that will be cool. What's your flight no. is it QF107? thats whatmine is.
As for the theme parks yeah it would be great to have someone to go with...The teacups are definately a must...i went on them at magic kingdom in florida last year and they are fun...are you a rides person..i am just not rides that you go upside down too much...Where's the bear factory? Thats sounds pretty cool..Is that like the make a bear hear in aus.
Luckily the htoel i picked when i couldn't get the marrakech is only a few blocks away..i wanted to be able to get to the pre tour meeting easy.
Are you on facebook? There is a group on there called Grand Northern & North by north east Sept12th...you shoud jump on...there are a few people on there doing the tour

Hi Tracie
Yep i sure am on the QF107 flight from Sydney to New York.
Yeah im not a big fan of rides that go upside down alot either but anything else is a must. The bear factory is like the make a bear and it is in the shopping district apparantly. I have just been told that i have to go and bring back two bears.
Yes i am on facebook and i have joined the Grand Northern on facebook.

Kylie,
What are the odds of that hey being on the same flight. I'll probably see you at the gate
I'd never have any room in my bags by the time i come home to bring 2 bears home...as i am doing another tour after the grand northern.

Hi Tracie
That is just too freaky us being on the same flight.
Yeah don't know how i am going to get them home may have to buy another suitcase just to get everything home as friends have put in orders as what they would like bought back.
I don't have the funds and can't take anymore time off work to do another tour. Would love to do one around Germany for some reason.
Kylie
