Heya,

Just wondering who else is going on this tour? I booked mine last week and am so excited!!!

Jess

Hi Jess,

Just seen your note on the forum about the tour in September. I am also booked on that tour, I booked mine just before Xmas and cannot wait either!

What are your plans for LA before the tour starts?

Paul

Hey Paul,

Where abouts are you from?
my plans before the tour is to spend from the 8th Sept-12th Sept in Hollywood and from the 12th-16th Sept in Anaheim doing all the theme parks and going to Disneyland. How about you?

Jess

Hi Jess,

I'm from Manchester in the UK. I will have finished uni so over the summer will be doing a bit of travelling through thailand, australia and fiji before meeting up with an old school friend in LA on the 12th Sept. We're gonna spend a few days in hollywood before the tour starts!

Whereabouts in australia are you from?

Paul

Hey Paul,
Im from Sydney. Sounds like your going to have an awesome time travelling! Im going to be in the States from June...im going to be spending 3 months in North Carolina working at a summer camp.
Are you travelling by yourself?
Jess

Hey Jess,

Yeh i'm doing everything before I get to america on my own then a mate is meeting me at LA airport so that should be good.

The idea was to do the whole thing with a friend but she couldn't afford to do it all so thought i'd take the plunge and go alone! How about you?

Sounds like your going to have an awesome time too! Hopefully a few more people will reply to this forum and we'll have a good group!

Are you staying in San Fran for a while after the tour ends?

Paul

Hey Paul,

Ill be going on the tour with a friend from New Zealand who ill be working at camp with. Her name is Fleur. Don't worry about doing the tour alone...its going to be so much fun! I went on a contiki tour in Europe 3 years ago by myself and had the time of my life!!!
Unfortunately i won't be staying in San Fran...i fly out that night to come home. I figure almost 4 months away from home i will be dying to get back. What about you?
How old are you?
Jess

Hey,

Yeh im quite looking forward to going it alone, will probably meet more people doing it that way! I'm quite into my scuba diving so will be able to do that a fair few times - can't wait for the barrier reef, nothing like that around the UK lol. U been to america before?

Both me and my mate Rick will be 22 when we do the LA to the Bay tour, what about you guys?

We will be staying on in San Fran for an extra week after the tour finishes, even after 3 months away i thought i could manage an extra week!

I'm so looking forward to it, been wanting to do it for years!

Paul

Hey Paul,
No i haven't been to America before so i am so excited to go!!!
Im 22 and my friend Fleur is 23...i would have loved to stay in San Fran for a bit but i figured by the time the tour is finished im going to be broke lol.
Jess

Hey,

I haven't been before either so will be really exciting! Im glad that there are some people my age and its not just made up of younger people who aren't old enough to drink lol.

Yeh i reckon we'll both me pretty skint by the time the tour ends with the optional excursions and shopping on tap! Reckon it'll be back to student beans on toast for the last week but nevermind....

Are you on facebook? I put a note on the Contiki discussion board for anyone else doing the same trip.

Paul
