Fabulous! Thats always great news when you find out your trip is actually going ahead!

Hi Lexi, i live in the western suburbs of brisbane and work in the city full time to save up money for this adventure...

Meeting up for drinks would be a great idea - have you thought about where or when?

I am travelling with a good friend of mine anthea - she is currently trekking around america at the moment! The lucky fool! lol and then we are meeting up on the 21st in london and sightseeing before the tour departs on the 25... I know i have said this before... but i am seriously sooo excited!!

And i would love to join the facebook group... but i dont get on there very much... my work has blocked it and i dont have a computer at home... :S haha

How much warm clothes are you guys taking?

im going on this tour also
cant friggin wait
i am taking lots of warm clothes!!! with like a few t-shirts as well, but jeans and trousers and stuff as well as knit dresses with leggings and lots of long tops!
i dno how cold its going to be around that time? my friend from spain said barcelona will still probably be fairly warm... where as switzerland and germany etc will probably be quite chilly!

omg thats fantastic news that our trip is going ahead that has absolutly made my nite, after such a crappy day at work, i live north side of brisbane, currently working heaps at the airport to save for this trip, i fly into healthrow on the 24th but will agree with u i am absolutly excited being my first trip outside aus as well lol i sorta have like 3 pairs of jeans and about 7 long sleeve tops im taking a pair of 3/4 pants for hot days and sorta have some short sleeve shirts as well with regards to going out clothes rhiann i aint taking dresses as i dont wear em here i mainly wear jeans going out so yeah woohoo so excited

i just booked this tour! from dallas. can't wait. will also be traveling solo. where are ya guys staying? royal national? that's what i signed up for. i'll be arriving in london 10/24- so if ya guys wanna go out, i'm in! can't wait to see ya guys!

mine arent going out dresses... they r like woollen knitted dresses... u know wat i mean???
by the way ive head some places in europe dont allow you to wear jeans out to their bars/clubs etc so maybe bring a pair of black pants or something???

really that sucks, cause i love my jeans lol

Yeah i have heard that aswell... my friend went to hungary for a year and said that all around where she went they made her wear black pants aswell! :S

I am not sure what i am taking... cause yeah switzerland and germany etc will be freezing... i am also staying in europe for like 6 weeks after the trip and trying to get a job in a pub in ireland... so i know it will be freezing around then, so yeah i am taking thermals and stuff... but i am also going to egypt after that so i need relativley cool clothes too... a mix of it all it sounds! haha

Dont know how i am going to stay under 20kg... :S haha

btw i have a counter on my work computer that tells me how long i have to go... 45 days today untill i leave on the 20/10!!

Hey everyone! I'm stressing about packing too- winter clothes are heavy as. I'm taking about 6 long/three quarter sleeve tops, same again of tshirts/singlet/tank tops for wearing underneath, 2-3 pairs of jeans (one can double as black pants because they dont look like jeans), a jacket/coat, comfy hoody for the bus, a few warmer jumpers/cardis and a nice black dress and a couple of tops for going out. I'm a terrible over packer because I like being clean so thats packing light for me haha. Too excessive?
Are those of you arriving the day before worried about jetlag? I booked in at the RN 4days before we leave because I'm pretty bad with the jetlag.
Are you guys tightening your budgets when it comes to food because I'm honestly planning to eat my way around Europe...

hey i dont know cause i havent flown before so i dont know wether or not ill get jetlag im hoping i dont but we will see, im thinking i might have quick nap in the arvo once i arrive and go from there but we will see, my going out tops r all long sleeve, i have pretty much 9 shirts in total, 3 pairs of jeans, some thermals, lots of socks and underwear, might add a pair of black pants but i dunno we will see and i might take a short dress but i dont wear dresses here in bris so i dunno, might just wear like tights underneath,

haha megan i plan on sampling the local food a bit also! but im tryin 2 lose the damn weight i put on at summer camp lol
