HI there!!
I'm just on the verge of booking, Im planning a massive USA trip from mid oct to christmas time. I'm looking at that oct 31 new york tour, then going on to the NOvember 3rd Grand Southern from New York to LA straight afterwards!! then I'll be staying in LA for a coupla weeks, probrably in a hostel, then back over to New York in December coz Ive always wanted to see the big apple around christmas time!! Again, hostelling there for another coupla weeks, seeing every broadway show I can!! Im a movee geek, thus my LA stay, and a theatre geek, which is why I'm excited about New York. Im really excited but Terrified about being on my own, but reading up on contiki I know I wont be lonely. Plus the funky hostels Ive read up on are so affordable and look really sociable too!! Has anyonew done something similar?? Oh, im 25, female and from melbourne!!
cheers
JO

Hi Jox
I'm from Ireland and taking my first contiki tour. I'm travelling on my own but hope to make some new friends and have fun. I've taken one year off work to travel. Plan to do Australia in early new year. Looking forward to meeting you on our tour.

Hi Ben

My name is Aodhan and I'm from Ireland and taking time out to see some of the States. Have you any advice to give about weather or tour tip in general? Looking forward to meeting you. Looks like there are at least 4 of us on the trip!

Hi Aodham,
Glad to see there are a few of us now. I was getting a little nervous when I first bought the tix because no one else was up here. Its my first time overseas but not the first contiki. I did one last year in Queensland when I had some holidays thrown at me. I had heaps of fun and met several people who I still speak to now. Im actually catching up and staying with a few of my mates from the last tour in America. They Live in Las Vegas, NY and Florida. Look forward to meeting up with you. Hope other people get onto the site before we go. Bye.

Hi Ben,
Thanks for reply. I'm getting excited about the trip. I leave Ireland on 24th October for Ny. I will stay at friends house for a few days and hope to have a good look around NY. My e-mail address is aodhanmc@hotmail.com. It would be great if we could meet up beforehand. I was in Australia a few years ago and I plan to go there again after Christmas. I am taking a career break from my office duties for one year. I have already done a trip around Europe but it wasn't a contiki. Keep in touch. Thanks for the contact!

Hey Jox,

Great to hear from someone!!! I'm from Sydney.
I'm doing the Grand Southern. I only decided to do this trip 5 weeks ago!!!! I was planning to go next year but I thought why not now.
I went to the US last year with my Mum but she is incredibly jealous of me going to Graceland - I bet I'll be going back with her one day!
