Hi Jen!
I to am going on the RTA tour on the 31st. My friend Nicole and I are both departing from Vancouver as well (she's from Vancouver and I'm from Cranbrook). Who knows maybe we'll all be on the same flight, if so you are more than welcome to go around London with my friend and I before the trip officailly starts.

I'm going to keep my packing simple: I'm packing a bunch of sundresses as they are light to pack and really comfortable, I'm packing only a couple pairs of pants and three pairs of shoes(1 for walking, 1 pair of flip flops, and a pair of dress shoes for going out).

How did you book? Did you book yourself or use a travel agent?

This trip should be really fun, if you don't mind me asking, how old are you? I'm 25.

Thats sounds good. Ya I'm thinking about bringing the same sorta things. Light dresses, sandles, a few pants and something dressy.
I booked my trip through a travel agent. I really didn't want to have to think much to plan this. It was really easy and helpful doing it that way.
I am 20. I'm hoping I won't be the "baby" on the trip... I was trying to get my boyfriend to come, but he doesn't have the money for it right now... More fun for me haha (kidding!)

Don't worry I'm sure you won't be the "baby" of the group. If you do end up being the baby of the group, don't worry it is always way more fun to be the baby than the oldie of the group. Now that I think about it I wish I was the "baby" of the group.

My boyfriend is not coming as I just dumped him so there will definitely be more fun for me.

Those are some good points! But looks like a won't be the baby anyways... but close enough. I wish I could stay longer on the island but I have to get back to work Frowner. Are you guys staying for the tour in greece? I am but I have to stay an extra night because my plane leaves that morning. It nice to get to chat to other people going on the same trip.
About boyfriends, Mine is a little worried about me not coming home. haha I can't say I wouldn't but I doubt it...

I know I'll just tell them that I got mono from some guy in Greece. I'll give them a big sob story with tears and everything saying that he looked like a nice clean guy.

Or I could tell my work that I have a massive hangover that will only be cured by healing Greek water which takes about a week before it starts to work and I couldn't possibly leave half way through my "treatment"
