Ahhh yeah I thought the tours starting on the 15th and 12th might combine into 1. Don't know why I chose to start on the 15h... might have to try to make a change to start with you guys.
Hey ya Brad, I'm also starting on the 15th. Yay another person - I thought I would be the only one joining onto the tour (that is if you haven't changed your trip plan already)....
HI Brad and Mauz, I'm starting on the 15th in Moscow too. What time are you all getting into Moscow? I don't fly in until 1:25 in the afternoon and I'm traveling from Canada.
hey gang, i am also on this tour and starting in Riga on may 12th. Bella, what time do you arrive in Riga? and where are you coming in from? i am flying in from London on Ryanair at around 10am.
Brad, Are you from England? or just flying out of there? There seems to be a lot of people on the tour who will be traveling to other places before or after this tour.

Brad: That's awesome. Where abouts in Canada are you going? Western I'm guessing? And where are you traveling before going there?
John: Hi. Lucky you getting to do all this traveling... makes me feel like such a newbie.. I'm going to be the most unexperienced one on this tour I think!

Hi all! I'm also doing this tour, ex Riga though on May 12. Will be arriving a day earlier because it's a 40 hour trip from Sydney Australia! I've already gotten one visa - my first two trips on this route were cancelled, so fingers crossed it's "third time's a charm"! - and it's not that painful at all! The Embassy here said just make sure you have copies of the documents you used to apply for the visa, ie. the invitation letter in Cyrillics and the Contiki vouchers, and you will have no problems with the border. I'm 27 and this is my first vacation in SEVEN years so I am very excited and looking forward to meeting everyone!
