Hi guys,

I know it's early but is anyone else booked on this tour yet? My name is Kathryn (or Kat). I'm from Melbourne and I'll be 26 at the time of the tour.

Hey there,

I am doing the Grand Explorer start in Auckland.. I heard from a friend that our tours are likely to meet up on one of the islands, do you know if this is true? I will be 20 at the time of the tour and am from Bris.

hey hey, my name is nicole and i am going on the explorer on the 5th jan, so hopefully we will all meet up, we are starting in auckland, i will be there from the 3rd!! there is a facebook contiki page for the grand explorer in 09, check it out it is http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24540822361&ref=mf

Hi Kat,
I'm doing the same tour as you:-) My name is Yvonne, I'm 24 and I'm from Switzerland. I can hardly wait until the trip starts:-)

Hi Yvonne. Great to hear you're coming along. Don't think we're going to get many people on the message board for this trip...just means more people to get to know when the trip begins! Can't wait

I hope everyone on this board and everyone that ends up on this board realize we are going to be in Queenstown (party central) for NYE!

I have realised that...it was the reason I picked this tour date! Although I do have a hot air balloon ride booked for New Years morning so don't know how all out I'll go on NYE
