what about u? what are your plans

Vanessa

Hi Vanessa,

I'm from the UK, i'll be 23 on the tour...it's my first contiki too (first time overseas on my own) but i think one of my friends is now trying to get booked on it which is cool.

i'm actually flying out in june to seattle, travelling down the west coast on my own, spending a wk in hawaii (might do the contiki stopover) then a month in mexico before heading back to LA for the tour...we should all meet up before the tour, i'm going to be in LA for a few days before also. After the tour i'm flying to tornonto then will head down into new england...yep i'm nuts doing most of it on my own but hey i'm sure lots of people do!

pf all of it i'm most excited about the GS though! wonder how many of us there will be?!

Hayley

Hi All,

I am also booked on this tour...I'm 29..from Sydney and going on my own....Can't wait!!

Emma

so wat parts of the tour is every1 looking forward too the most?
we should meet up in La before the tour and do some sighting seeing and disneyland!!!

Vanessa

Hi Vanessa

Technically I am from the Central Coast - it's just easier to put Sydney when talking to people from other countries...

I am staying in New York for an extra couple of nights then back to LA for a few nights and on to Hawaii. I'm only flying in just before the tour starts....

I am looking forward to Vegas and New York the most...How bout you?

Emma

Hi @ all,
I'm doing the eastern discovery (first time contiki) starting 1st september, so I think, we'll meet each other in new orleans?! Do I have this right?
I'm 21, travelling alone and living in Germany. So, I apologize for all grammar and spelling mistakes ...

Looking forward to a great time in the states!
