Hey there! Just wanted to see if anyone else was considering the Reverse start from Christchurch? If my understanding is right then NYE 09 will be spent in Queenstown, which is supposed to have a great nightlife.
So is anyone out there contemplating the trip??

im think of goin on the 19th of dec.

hi all, thinking about going on this trip. Doesn't show if it's a definite departure date. At least not showing here. Anyone know if it is or not?

I hear it is a good trip to do and yeah new years is in Queenstown. My friend and I will be booking Wednesday

Hey everyone, I've booked this tour with my friend Naomi. NYE sounds fun, looking forward to hitting up some of the adventure sports.
@Zo, won't tell you definate departure date till a few weeks before hand, but being Dec/Jan should be fine
Looking forward to meet you all...

Hi guys I'm Naomi, Ben's friend, really looking forward to this trip....I see it's already fully booked so hopefully hear from a few of you before departure date. I'm the one who'll probably be wine tasting while the rest of you are throwing yourself out of planes!

Hey everyone. I'm lauren, I'm doing this tour on my own and am a little nervous but very excited. I'm looking forward to hopefully talking to people prior to the departure date. BTW if anyone sees someone sitting alone the day before the tour departs come up and say hey. Whats everyone looking forward to on this trip

Hey All
Im doing this tour aswell. Can't wait - heard some pretty awesome stories from people who have done it before.

NYE will be one fun night!

Naomi I'm no thrill seeker either or wine drinker so maybe we can compromise and find a pub!! hahaha, my mate Sam is comin with me, she is the thrill seeker so I was worried i'd be the only wuss!! haha
Lauren you wont be alone mate... everyones gunna have an awesome time

whoops... we wont be there for the pre departure meeting... we wont arrive till bout 10pm.. my bad

I don't get there until 10 either...I'm from the UK but I'll be travelling from Adelaide and it's going to take me all day to get there! Lauren...I'm sure you'll have a great time, I have done four Contikis on my own and have always loved it, everyone is really friendly

Wow 4 trips where have you been?

So where is everyone from?? I'll probably be catching up with a mate in Christchurch on the 26th (Who i met from a previous contiki tour) but maybe we could organise some pre drinks before the tour starts, especially for those who are travelling solo
or maybe start a facebook group or something...

Hey there
I'm from Toongabbie which is a suburb in aydney in Australia. Yeah i think the pre-tour drinks sound great. It will be a great way to meet other people before the tour starts. I also like the idea of the Facebook group. What does everyone else think?

Hey all
pre tour drinks sounds good as im flyin solo on this tour, i arrive in christchurch on the 26th, any one know of any places to meet? where is everyone staying the night before?
