Really andrek, thats fuuny what part of Fl are you from??... you should be able to find me on facebook typing in my email (jeremy0784@hotmail.com) in the search bar of facebook if not my last name is dodd, so under Jeremy Dodd, probably the only dodd in the "FIU Alum 07" network!...I hope apart from this forum most of us cann also chat thru msn messenger and if not facebook, if you dont have a facebook make one its easy, its a nice way too comunicate with people you can put up pics etc.. theres a contiki group in facebook thats pretty cool.....Question, are any of you planning on arriving earlier before the actual trip starts to do a week in Ireland and Scotland like Dave had done and mentioned in his travelogue? It seems like a good idea, thinking of doing that....

Pennie and I are doing London first week then after tour Ireland for a couple - cannot wait

Hi, I'm Zach. Finally got around to signing up here. I'll be flying over on the 13th to check out London a bit before the trip. Feel free to hit me up on msn goldsy @ gmail.com

hey zach welcome to the crazy bunch... I'll add you on msn so we can chat sometime and also you can come to one of the crazy chat with people from the tour.

So good news today I went to the travel agency to find out about something and they just told me that the trip is a guaranteed departure!!!

Welcome Zach. another to join us! hurray!
Tell us a little about yourself. The busload is getting larger by the second.

I have spoken to most of you here, but if SuzyQ or Nick13 are still around would love to hear from you guys.

That is great news Andre. I am glad coz I was going to pay for it in full on Monday. I would have been devistated if it was cancelled.

That's awesome that we are guaranteed. I forgot that could even be an issue.

Finally got around to getting msn. Look me up under bgfst1@hotmail.com.

I got word from my travel agent that contiki would like people to have visas prior to departure. It makes sense and should save border time.

Almost 4 months away!

hey zach, welcome, nice too meet you.....brian i cant seem to find you on facebook? If you want see if you can find me and add me, my email under facebook is jeremy0784@hotmail.com.....happy to hear the trip has been confirmed, that means by know we have at least 25 people in our trip!!

Jeremy:

Yeah, no surprise you can't find me. Awhile ago I made sure it was impossible while I was in the job hunt. I suppose I can let up the security now lol. I will be sure to look you up and add you to msn.

hey everyone, sorry i havent been around for awhile, my wireless routr finally died and i have been just too lazy to setup my new one.

i finally gave in after my internet withdrawl kicked in

its nice to see that even more people will be joining us in europe!

ill definitely try to chat more but school and work are slowly breaking me down until ill really need a vacation come may!!!!

Hey Guys my name's Ali and I'll be on the May 18th tour with you guys. I'm opting for the Greek Islands instead of Egypt.

My MSN is alishine88@hotmail.com
I'm on facebook too under Alison Hall

I'm also planning on heading to london a few days before the tour and staying a few days later if anyone wants to meet up??

Hey Ali welcome to the group!!!

Yay we are growing and growing, the more people that join us the more excited I get. Ali hope I get to talk to you soon and you get to meet other people since they are really cool.

Brian dude we have to chat sometime since I think you are the only one I haven't chatted til date, hope to see you around msn sometime.

Well, It's official. I'm definitely on this tour. I made my deposit last week. I haven't booked my flight yet, but I could probably come a little early to check out London (I saw a few people interested in this). I'm coming from Arizona in the US.

Hi, my name is Dominic. I look forward to talking to everyone soon. I'm taking pointers from Dave Challenger on his prep work before the tour and would be interested to know how everyone else is preparing for this whirlwind trip of a lifetime.

Hey Dominic when you book your flights let us know when you will be arriving in london- i think a few of us will meet up to see a few sights if you're interested. Do you have msn or facebook?

Hey Ali,

I sent u a friend request in facebook.

Dominic

nice to meet you dominic. do you have an msn so we can all chat together.
Welcome to our crazy bunch?
