Less than a month to go now!

Has anyone decided what extra activities they are going to do while we're in the three towns? I'm still trying to decide on what to do, but I think the steak and fry would definitely be on the list.

Hello everyone. I recently booked this tour as well. My name is Ray and I am from Tucson, AZ. This will be my 5th contiki and I am traveling solo. I will be in Vancouver for one pre/post night. There is a comedy club in Vancouver called Yuk Yuks comedy club. They have a 2 shows on Friday night. One at 8:00 and one at 10:30. I was planning on checking out one of the shows on Friday 7/31 before the tour begins. If anyone would like to join me, either e-mail or fb me at rjohnstonpt@msn.com. I look forward to meeting all of you.

Hi All,

I will be traveling solo as well, and flying in the morning of July 31st and staying an extra day till Aug. 11. Hopefully some of you are around and we can get together for some sightseeing. You can find me on msn at stix_537@hotmail.com
See you in about a week!
