Bring it on guys! I am yet another aussie booked on this tour!!! Booked it the week i got home from doing europe contiki earlier this year. Cant wait to meet you all... possible highlight Las Vegas, what do you reckon???

Hi everybody,

We've got a group of 8 on NY 2 LA DEC28. We're all Aussies too, but one of the guys has been working in London for 4 yrs and can possibly put on a pommy accent if we're desperate for some variety?

Belle- 2 girls from our group are from Newcastle, I'll tell them to register.

Can't wait!

Hey everyone,

First off, before I say anything, just want to make it clear, I'm not going on your trip.

However, as a New Yorker I would be more than happy to share my experiences and share any advice or tips you'd like.

Hey peeps.. I'm new to this, and i do have a great budget, so I'm pleased to tell you, that I will be joining the tour too. I am doing the administrative procedures right now, and I will meet you all in New York after 20 days in California doing my own self-exploration and thrill adventures.

By the way, I am from Singapore! I'm Chinese, but don't worry, I speak from a very diversified standpoint! I am 19 this year, and I do hope most of you guys will "take great care" of me! Wahahahaha! I will be traveling alone, and please keep in touch via email.

Looking forward to seeing all of you in December.

Regards,
