Hello again this is Kimber from California -

Shannon we're neighbors! I live in Vacaville
My best friend Tamara that will be joining us will also be having a birthday on our trip (Oct. 14th)- 1 more reason to celebrate! What day is yours? How cool to have this be your 1st Contiki! I am on #4 - it goes so quick!

If anyone is on facebook - I am Kimber Conklin - I hope you'll find me. Magen thanks for starting the group for our trip there. I am pretty sure Tam and I are flying into Heathrow though, not O'Hare.

Hey Kimber!

That's awesome that you are in Vacaville.. where and when are you flying? My birthday is Oct 6th so it sounds like we will have a couple of celebrations! What other trips have you done? I am nervous to be doing the first part by myself but it seems like there will be a lot of cool people! I can't wait!

Magen, thanks for starting the Facebook group- awesome idea!

Shannon

no prob!!! it didn't take any time to make it. Shannon when are you flying in? Are you going into Heathrow?

We are getting in at 11am. We can meet up at the airport or at the hotel. I know you get in a couple hours before us, so if you want a quick nap - we can wake you up when we get there - Any idea what we want to see 1st in London? I vote the Eye -

yea i think i will head to the hotel and you guys can come find me! i don't know if i will nap or not but at least relax for a bit! yes i vote the eye as well! unless it is rainy..i don't want to go in the rain.lol. i am getting soooo excited!!!

Does this trip include the Southern Ireland trip? If so, I along with 5 of my buddies will join you guys on the Ireland portion.

My name is Rich Robbins, 27 from Los Angeles. This is my second Contiki trip, the first one was about 4 years ago - 30 day London to Athens. Looking forward to meeting you guys.

yep...the trips are the same..some people just leave in the middle..like myself..i am not going on to ireland because of work..there are also people who join in the middle in ireland. so if u are only in ireland i won't get to meet you and ur friends but u will have a blast either way

Kimber, Magen- what is the eye?? I am on the same flight as Kimber so we will have a nice little group when we get there!

And welcome Rich, no offense to the ladies, but I am excited to see there are at least a few guys on this trip, I was getting worried!

Shannon

the london eye is a great big farris wheel type of thing on the river..it is big glass bubbles you stand in...i am not a fan of heights normally but i am going to get over it and do it!!!

Very cool!!! I cannt wait to see you guys!!!

Exactly 2 months!!!

Hey All,

I have been looking at the "optional excursions" what do you guys think of them? In the past I have always done them all, and I would say that some are more than worth it while others I wish I had skipped. (Ok, admittedly, thinking about these things is a little premature, but it's one of those boring days at the office . . .)

Kimber

Hi Everyone!!! My name is Tamara and I'm from San Diego. Looking forward to meeting you all. This is my 3rd Contiki trip and they have all been a blast! Less than two months now..... Can't wait!

Tamara nice to see you on here!! i am like super excited to see you guys again!!!!

Kimber i was looking at the optional activities and most of them look good to me. all i saw was harry potter and i was sold..lol

you guys might get to meet a friend of mine from london on our first day there..she might join us for drinks or something..still working on a plan to meet up for a bit
