Hi- I am doing this trip solo so I was just wanting to see if I could meet some of my fellow travelers before I go.

Hi! I'm on this trip as well. Just booked it. I'll be traveling solo as well leaving from NYC

ahh thank goodness!! I posted this 5 months ago...I was beginning to think I was going to be the only one on the trip period. That's great. I'm from Missouri. Have you ever been to Europe or traveled this far away before by yourself? Seems like it is pretty common on here but when I tell people I'm going solo they act like I'm crazy.

haha, I know. I was getting worried and then I found your post from way back. I've been to Europe a couple of times, never to Italy and never vacationed alone. I want it to be October NOW! haha

Hi, I am also doing this trip coming solo from NYC! Good to see other people on this trip!

Fantastic! I have a flight from Newark Friday the 9th at around 5pm that gets me to Rome 8am on the 10th. When do you take off?

Hi!!
I'll be doing this trip solo as well.
I'm from Canada . . . Looks like I may be the only solo Canadian so far, lol.
I have a stop over in NYC!

I was going to take the Newark Friday flight but got a great deal leaving Thursday from JFK. Don't know how to change my signature but my name is Jen. I am getting so excited for this trip!

YEAH!! this is awesome. I am so excited. My name is Amanda and I am 25yrs old and from Missouri. Did you guys get a single room or choose to pair up with someone? I'm cheap so I paired up. I'm a little worried about how much money to bring. From what I have read on the forums they say 100 a day...but I feel like I'm going to go crazy there.

Yea, the single room was a bit pricey so I'm going to be buddied up with someone.

I'm 27 from Ontario Canada and my name is Aliya.

I think 100/day sounds decent. The more $$ you have on you, the more likely you are to spend it all.

I'm a shopaholic in the making so I'm trying to curve my spending before I leave for the trip, lol.

Lol, are we the only ones going on this trip?

I hope not!

I'm 27 as well and since I'm cheap I booked a double room as well. I need to figure out the money thing too. Are you talking $100 a day, or $100 Euros a day.

I hope we aren't the only ones but if so...more wine and food for us Well actually I'm not sure but I think I read 100 DOLLARS a day. I'll most likely bring a little more than that because you also have to account for the extra activites you can sign up to do. They said to even get the group picture it's pretty expensive. My next issue will be trying to figure out how to haul back all the stuff I accumulate...I might even have to stuff one of those hot Italian men in my suit case for a souvenir :-)

Hehe, good thinking Ashby! Great minds think alike - If there aren't any cute guys on the trip, we will need to recruit some locals!

I think 100 Euros/day sounds decent from everything I've been reading!

I hope it's still warm in Italy during Oct!

I got my documents yesterday!!!! Anyone else get theirs?
