hey guys
I'm seriously considering doing the Southern Adventure in November 2008 (The southern adventures departs with the same group doing the Grand Southern - we leave you guys in New Orleans) so i will be with you guys for the first 13 days.
I choose to do the Southern Adventure, because on December 14th, my best of USA tour starts, and i will be covering the east coast anyway
Explorer, i will be in new york for new years. Ive already booked my accomodation (you have to get in quick). I'm staying in a hostel though, i dont know if you'd prefer a hotel instead.
Where abouts are you guys from? Melbourne here.

Hey
Yeah i'm travelling alone - i'll be 21 in november when the tour starts. This will be my 4th contiki tour. In march i'm doing contiki europe, egypt and great britain/ireland.
And casey - i am unsure of the name of the hostel im staying in (i just emailed my travel agent and asked him to book a nice/good located hostel and he replied saying he had, but didnt give the name). i know that its booked from 26th december for 7 nights and its a total of $400. apparently its a pretty good location in manhattan. I think it actually might have been booked through contiki post tour accomodation.. so maybe give contiki a call. (i can call my travel agent for you when he gets back from leave next week and find out the name).
Are you planning anything before the tour.. I am considering the hawaiian stop over...

Hey Casey, Yep it will be my first ever contiki tour. In 2005 I actually went to the States on my own and did camp america and then travelled a little so cannot wait to go back. I am definately going to travel after but will probably arrive the day before the tour (due to exams) so wont be doing any travel before hand  |

Hey amylou,
Thanks for replying back to me. Where did you travel when you went in 2005?? I cannot wait to see everything hey.. Are you staying in new york for long after the tour??? Me and my boyfriend Tim are staying for 5 nights then going to San Fran for a couple of days. So excited. xxxx
Also, Kat, what are the Contiki buses like??? Do they have toilets and can you use them cos Ive heard so many stories that you cant use them ...... Also before the tour me and Tim are doing 3 days in LA and 2 days in Disneyland then strating the tour. Ive always wanted to go on the teacups!!! xoxoxooxoxox

hey casey
i stayed in North Carolina for the kids camp for about 8 weeks and then flew from there to NYC for a week, caught the train from NYC to Boston, flew from Boston to Las Vegas, then to San Francisco and then back to LA then home...
it was a great time... i cant wait to go back.. the problem is tho there are sooo many places i want to see as well as going back to some of the ones i have been to already... my problem is trying to determine which is cheaper.. contiki or on my own... i guess contiki would be but then i think that it might not be enough time to stop at each stop...
anyway... im thinking now of doing the wild western and maybe the eastern discovery which tours with the grand southern...
how did you guys decide to definately travel with contiki instead of your own time frame?

Hey amylou, We decided to do Contki cos it's cheap and it'll give us a chance to get a small taste of the US. Im looking forward to it but Im a little scared too. Speak soon xoxox Casey quote: Originally posted by amylou:
