Hi. I am going on the May 27th tour with my friend Jess. Feel free to drop us a message if you are going on the same trip or have any advice for us. It will be our first time in New York. Cheers Tamara

Hey, I am doing this tour also in between the Grand Southern and the Grand Northern. I am travelling alone so i thought this was a good way to see New York by myself. Is this the only Conitki you are doing through the US?

Hi. Jess and I are also doing the Wild Western tour from LA to San Francisco and back to LA after the New York tour. It's so exciting. Do you know what activities you want to do in the spare time?

hey girls how r u im michael im 21 from launceston in tasmania, i was thinking about going along on the big apple and then doing the grand northern, i did the grand southern in may/june this year and it was the most awseome experience. i found on the last conitki thats there wer guys there that were just trying to pick up and shag as many girls as they could which caused terrible conflict, which was dissapointing they didnt show the girls any respect at all i hope u 2 dont fall into that trap xoxo do u use msn my email is jonty199@hotmail.com, it would b cool to get 2 know you both b4 we head, i kinda wish i flew ova with some1 now and knew people b4 i got there.
anyways i best be off ive probably just dribbled on xoxo hope to hear from you soon take care

Hi Michael. Thanks for the advice. I think we will be right, we are going on Contiki to have a good time not pick up - i'm sure it happens alot though.
Have you booked your tours and flights yet? Have you thought about what extra activities you want to do?
Take care, Tam.

Hey there fellow travelers!

My name is Kate and I just booked to go on The Big Apple Exp. today! I am already currently living in Palo Alto which is in California (about 40 mins south of San Fran) and have been for 10 months now. I am a NSW girl originally but came here to be an au pair for 12 months and then travel a month which is where this tour comes in. I did wanna do Great Southern or Eastern Discovery but it was booked out. NOW i want to do the east coast and maybe use the Greyhound bus to hop around. I am looking for a travel buddy if anyone interested in joining me for about 2 weeks prior to the NYC tour . . . My MSN is krate1983@hotmail.com DROP IN!
Cheers guys!

Hi Kate

It's great to meet you. I am so excited about New York. Are you staying at the Hotel Merrakech before the tour? What are you looking forward to the most? Jess and I have already booked Broadway tickets for Hairspray. We also really want to do the Sex and the City Tour.

My hotmail address is: perth_virgo@hotmail.com are you on facebook?

Hi Tamara, I had planned on doing the Wild Western the same time as you - it sold out! However, I am booking the Big Apple Explorer and LA scene next week. Two of my friends have already signed up for the BAE. I think we are getting tickets for Wicked...other than that, I am open to anything.

Tara from NS

Hi Tara

Hope you get on the tour, it should be so much fun. Jess and I will be doing the sex and the city tour as well as well as Broadway. I can't wait it is going to be such a blast! Let us know once you have booked. Cheers, Tam

Hello!

I'm travelling alone, from Melbourne. I've booked my flights and tour. I'm also staying at the Marrakech hotel the night before and after the tour (twin share).

Also not interested in the whole pick-up/shag fest that Contiki is sometimes known for.

Looking forward to seeing the sites, making friends, shopping and going out. I'd also like to see a Broadway show. How much were the tickets for Hairspray??

After NY, I'm going to Florida for a week with a few free nights in Miami and then I have a work conference in Orlando.

Thanks!

Hi

I think the Broadway tickets ended up being around $190 after being converted to Australian Dollars (i think $150 something US). How are you guys planning to get from the airport to the hotel?

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hey Dani!
I'm travelling alone too and wanna see Hairspray. . . I see u also doing the twin share thing. If u don't have anyone, I wouldn't mind splitting the cost with u and also I'll go see Hairspary with u. I was thinking of going the night before the tour (or matinee) so that I can get the most out of the tour . . . What u think? My email is krate1983@hotmail.com if u want to. No pressure of course! Also, there is a a way to get tickets cheaper but its more of a "Have to front up on the day" thing - but wee are talkin like half price.
Talk to u soon!
Kate xx

Hey All,

If you can be bothered, I just created a facebook group for the tour, so you can see profiles, photos, all that stuff.

Group is called: Big Apple Explorer May 08

Might be easier.

Dani

Hi Dani

I tried to find the group but it wouldn't come up. Can you please post the link?

Cheers
