Grr dam my Explorer1121227 name lol every time I change it to Matt the next day its changed back ahaha i give up :P

but yeh im doing dorm rooms in SF for 6 nights and i know when im on the tour i will much rather split a nice room with mates from our tour before i head home.

Im staying with Contiki organized accommodation last night as well in NY I think its the 11th?

Yeah I'm in the contiki hotel in NY on the 11th too if anyone needs a place to crash cause it's quite late when we make in to NY (think it said no flights before 9pm).

Oh yeah and does anyone know's which Best Western it is before the tour? There's a few beside Disneyland so I'm trying to find out which 1 cause I'm there for 3 nite's before the trip

I'm in the contiki hotel in NY for 3 nights after the trip. Before the tour it's the Best Western Stovall's Inn, isn't it?

Sure is! Yeah, the tour will probably finish late, so I chose the hostel closest to the Contiki hotel, which wound up being the same place I stayed last time I was in NY.

Hey,

I am travelling alone, so should be good, after our tour I go on the Grand Northern and then finish up in LA.

Looking forward to it

Alyce.

Stovall's Inn... Cheers, I really should have paid more attention when I was booking it

Hey... I'm going to book Broadway hostel for NY. If the contiki one is a bit pricey for anyone else hit me up and we might be able to get a privet room there. It's been voted one of the top 10 best hostels in the world. Ally i reckon if you called them you could change over what type of room you are in. Let me know if ... ?
Jobes

Yeah, I'll find out about it!

Ok, I have sent them an e-mail to see if I can amend the booking without additional fees, so I will hopefully get a reply soon. If we share, I can book it for both of us.

Alternatively, if more people want to stay there as well, we could maybe book out a four bed dorm room?

Not long now guys!

Hey everyone!
My name is Katy and my boyfriend Aaron and i will be joining you all on the tour. We are so excited! We are both 19 and from Australia. Have never been on contiki before but looking forward to it very much! We are heading over in about 5 weeks time. Can't wait to meet you all.

Hi Katy,
Some of us have found each other on facebook if you're on there. There's also been talk of meeting up for a night before the tour starts, if you guys are getting into LA a few days before it.

Michael.

How's it going? My name is Allyson Kirk, if you are on facebook. I think you're the first one to post on here who is not travelling alone, although there will probably be plenty of others in pairs or more actually on the tour. Where in Australia are you from?

Also, for everyone on here, has anyone else noticed that there must have been a few cancellations? Our tour was full only about a week ago, now it is coming up as available, not even almost full. Maybe it's because of the exchange rate?

Hey Allyson yeh I noticed that as well. Should be alright though it’s past the 55day mark.

I wont hear anything for two weeks either because I got a call in to go down to VIC to help with bushfires..so yeh...

But they would have told us buy now if they were to change dates not to mention my fights are all booked and my accommodation in SF before hand

Ill send u a Private Message with my AUST number can you shoot me an SMS if you hear anything? thanks

CYA ALL soon

I am from Bombala in N.S.W. Most people havent heard of it. Its only a small town of 1500, 2 hours south of canberra, just above the VIC border.

I am also on facebook so will try and find all of you on there.

Have noticed that the tour must have had a few cancellations because i was so excited when it was full and then suprised when it had availabilities.

I am also keen for meeting up the night before. there is just a little problem though which is going to be very difficult. the legal drinking age over there is 21 and we are both only 19. hope it doesnt affect us too much on tour but no doubt it will. will have to wait and see i guess..
