Hi everyone,

im doing he eastern discovery on the 28th july whihc joins your tour! havent met anyone else just doing the eastern discovery but nice to see there will some people on it!
im coming from the UK and will be travelling alone. im so excited about it and a little nervous too!
7 months and counting! xx

All things being well I'm booking to come on this trip at the end of January.

I'll be doing the LA explorer beforehand and then flying to Hawaii for the week up till the 18th August right after.

Birthday will be on a Helicopter in the Grand Canyon and Vegas a couple of days before, should be cool

Travelling solo from the UK.

hi sam,

where abouts in the uk are u? im down in kent.
u sound like u have got an amazing trip booked!!

Hi Suzanne,

I live up in London.

It does sound a like a good trip eh, been looking into it for a while. It's just a shame I can't get a bit longer off work, the apartment I'm going to rent in Waikiki is only £450 a week.

Wish I hadn't overspent over Christmas though, I want to put my deposit in and book my flights

Hi Sam,

thats a really good price for the apartment! I really want to go to hawaii but I also wanna see the west cost so thats next on my list! If i were u i would pay ur deposit asap. its only £45 and i think the tour will fill up quickly. I booked mine through sta travel and a few extra hotels although i think im gonna book my flights elsewhere.
Yeah i overspent over xmas too!!!
Gotta start saving the pennies now!!

Hi sam i'll be on this tour as well!

Will be arriving in LA a couple of days before the tour starts and then i'll be going on the new york explorer afterwards. I still need to book flights and arrange hotel accomadation.

What part of london are you from. I live in south west.
