Hey All,

I just posted this in the advice section by accident so sorry if you have already seen it.

I am a 23 year old female from the States. I recently graduated from college and I am planning a 5 month solo adventure around Europe. I have decide to kick my Journey off with The Contiki Ultimate Explorer Tour(48 days & 17 countries). I am looking at the July 28th or August 3rd departures. Since neither of these are guaranteed trips I am wondering if anyone has already or will be booking one of the two.

Write me back if this applies to you or if you just wanna say what up!

Gday,

 I am a 28 year old fella from perth australia booked on the july 30 trip.
 Looking forward to partying hard and having great fun. Hope to see ya there.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for writing! I did end up booking this trip so we will definitely be partying in Europe together.I have never even been to Europe, Is this your first contiki trip?

Hey there devon,

Yeah its my first contiki trip. I was born in england but spent most of my life in perth australia. Definately looking forward to a good time. My little bro is also on the trip. This is something i have always wanted to do and now have the chance.
 I have a one way ticket to the UK so will hopefully be doing many more contiki trips. Look forward to catching up with you soon

hi!! im going to join you !
im juli from Japan Kyoto.call me Julie.
and im 21years old.
im not good at speeking English and sometimes dont understand what are you native speaker talking about...!
i have to brush up my speaking skills ASAP.
i cant wait to see you all.
and im going to join the trip alone.
and i prefer egypt option.anybody same as me??
i thought myconos is popular.
why is that?? too expensive??
im going to trip London for 3days after the contiki tour.

Hi Julie! Its nice to meet you! I'm going alone and doing the Eygpt
option, so you won't be alone if you decide to do it! Don't worry about
the English, I'm sure it will work out.

    I just thought I'd let everybody know that I will be
in South Africa before I get to London so I'll be out of touch for
awhile. When I get to London I'll be staying at a hostel not to far
from the Royal National Hotel were I think alot of you are staying.
Once again my e-mail is kerstiek@onid.orst.edu and my AIM name is
Shamrockia74. I'll try and get a international phone or phone card so
it'll be easier for me to get a hold you all! I look forward to meeting
you all soon, and having a great time!



Julie you may want to check out this site if you are having trouble translating my English to Japanese:

edit: I'll be in London from July 20th to whenever the hell the tour starts! Later

Hi! thank you for your quick reply!
Nice to meet you too!
im happy to hear that you chose the Egypt option!!
i was afraid that i might be a only member who will go to Egypt.
do you know that how many member will join the tour??
I asked Japanese branch but she tell me its impossible to tell.
She could only know how many Japanese member will join us.
So she cant let me know the number of the total member.

And I could understand all of your plain English.thank you for your help!!

my e-mail address is  julie_kyoto@hotmail.com

Hi

My name is Rob

I will be coming across from New Zealand with 3 others.

Im guessing we will be the old folks on tour (around 28) but we will be bringing a wealth of knowledge of drinking games and other such entertaining pass times.

Looking forward to getting on tour and away from work !

Hi Rob.

It's nice to meet you!!
Im really looking foward your dlinking games haha
What do you do?And how old are your 3 others friends?
Which option did you choose??(Myconos or Egypt)

hope to see u soon!

Hey everyone! Are you all getting excited for the trip?! I'm Maryanne, I'm from Seattle, am 23 and a pediatric travel nurse. I cannot wait for all the amazing experiences we're going to have!

I'll be in Costa Rica then Spain then Portugal before our trip but I'll be flying into London July 28th and staying at a hostel there the first night. Does anyone know when we are meeting up with the group? (date and time?) I'll be traveling solo on this trip, which is a first for me, but I think it will be fun =) If you like dancing and the movie Zoolander, we'll probably hit it off great.

Anyways, I can't wait to meet everyone. I'm doing the Mykonos option, so holler if you're going to Greece! Is anyone bringing a cell phone? I'm thinking about it (just for emergencies), although it's quite pricey.
 
Later everyone!

Hi Maryanne!!
My name is Juri, I'm from Japan Kyoto(ancient capital),am 21.
I also can not wait for the great great trip!!

Our meeting time is I think....6:00pm.
 I also recommend for you to stay at Royal National Hotel the day befor our diparture date. Coz first of the day.departure time is quite early.
You cant miss it!!

I also arrive in London in 28th July.
I want to meet you before pre-tour meeting and want to visit some place to go. Is it possible??

I'll be travelling alone and bringing cell phone in case.

Sorry for my poor English.
Let's have fun!!!!

I posted just notice that I changed my option to Myconos coz of my money problem. I'm dreaming about our great tour all day long....

later!!

I will be doing the UK and Southern Ireland tour directly before the Ult Euro

My friends are 2 guys (29 and 17) and one girl (27 )

Zoolander is awesome, however my dancing skills are not

I will be doing the Greece option as shortly after the tour finishes myself and 6 others will be off to Egypt for the "Egypt and the Nile" tour.
