Hey all,

just got back from the travel agent... i'm all booked in (going solo) for the UE leaving London on the 18th of August... thought i'd start a this topic to see who else would be joining this tour...

look forward to hearing from you guys...

You have already done it!!

I was just about to make a discussion board for this tour...you beat me to it.

Well you know I'll be going on this tour

I am so over excited its not funny.

Wooooooo hoooooooooo

P.S I think I owe you a pint too. :P

P.S.S I can't wait to see who else is on this tour!!!

Where did you get the tour date from? I've put down money but was told dates and prices wouldn't be available until early November...

Dates and prices are out already.

Check out the website!! There all posted!!!

i think the usa and canada haven't had the dates released yet but the aussie wbsite has the dates up... you should be able to ring contiki directly to book if you can't find dates...

or you can look at last years dates, figure out what day the tours start and work it out... like last year this tour was tues the 19th of aug, this year it is tues the 18th of august... hope that helps....

p.s. em i am going to hold you to that pint too!... hahaha

Shane'o is correct, the dates haven't been posted in the US yet. I even called, but they won't be releasing the dates or prices to us for another 3 weeks or so. I could understand them adjusting the prices, but its quite strange not to be able to provide the dates considering those are universal. Anyone mind posting the dates or a link the Australian site? Thanks!

Its a bit silly they haven't released the dates for the US. The dates are going to be the same Nationally.

Hope these help.

Thanks Em!

April 10th it is! Who's with me?

It says August 16th on the USA site, but the dates have always been different for USA people. They give us an extra day to avoid having to worry about pre and post accommodation. They should do it for everyone, but whatever. I'm hoping to go on this one. *crosses fingers* However I wish I had more money then I do at the moment. Stupid bills.
