Excellent. I found doing the Contiki New York and LA tours would be cheaper when it came to accomidation.

So will you be going on your own as well?

i'm pretty much gonna wing it all when i get to LA but i've already paid for my accom in both LA and New York. I'm gonna go on my own in NY as well.

t least my flights are paid for, now it's just a matter of paying off contiki and saving for my spending money!!


I think we're staying at the Banana Bungalow too! So we'll no doubt meet up before we head out on the tour Smiler

Hey Laurie,

We're from a small town called Deniliquin, roughly 3 hours north of Melb.

We won't be staying in NYC, as this will be the end of our 7 weeks in the USA. We're actually starting our trip over in NYC. Pretty much the tour ends and we get on the plane and fly home. But we'll be in LA for about 5 days before the tour starts..

I am taking about $1000.00 AUS dollars for every week im going to be there. I dont think i will spend anywhere near that amount but i guess its better to be safer then sorry.
Hope that helps

Wow you're very organised lol! Im from the UK, i see you're from Melbourne, so at least you will be used to the hot weather Smiler I will have to start sorting everything out pretty soon, i had a look on the website for the Banana Bungalows, they look really nice! Have you been to LA or NY before?

We're still yet to book accommodation when we hit LA... we're actually going to be in America for about 3 weeks before the tour.

I'm getting off my rear end and organising our LA accommodation today. I'm praying their summer isn't as bad as ours is currently here in Australia!
