Hi, i've just booked onto the Canada and the Rockies tour starting on 23rd May 2009. I haven't booked flights yet but planning to get to Vancouver 2 days early and then have 5 days after before joining the Alaskan Adventure tour.

Be good to here from anyone on the tour.

Rachael

hey Rachael,
I'm looking at doing this tour the same as you - canada and rockies then alaska adventure after it. Would be awesome! Also going to head back to the US!

Hi Melanie

Good to hear from someone else interested in the tour. There is another lot of dates later in the year which links to the two tours but as there isn't much difference in temperature between June and August and that they get an average of 15 days of rain in Alaska during Aug (compared to 6 in June) i thought the earlier the better.

Hope you decide to book the tours.

Rachael

hey Melanie and Rachael

I am also thinking of doing this tour on that date, will be going to america after and doing a few tours there.

Hello everyone who is planning a trip to Canada,
I live in Canada and I am also a Contiki intern.
If you have any questions please let me know and I would be glad to answer.
Canada is a great country and there are many cool places to travel.
Have an amazing time on your upcoming trip!

Hi Conitki Intern

What is the weather likely to be like in late May? As i'm heading on to to the Alaska tour after, do i need to be packing for warmish temps or will it still be quote cold?

Rachael

Hey Rachel

As a Rockies Resident the weather is unpredicatable. I wouldn't even worry about packing until you're almost ready to leave. We have temps anywhere from -10 to +30 (celcius)...but regardless...you will have an amazing time!!

Hi,

I have just booked this tour arriving in Vancouver 3 days before tour starts!! Can't wait!
Angie

All booked!

Well that's at least 3 of us so far.

Melanie, when are you getting to Vancouver? Maybe we can meet up with Angie to do some sightseing?

I arrive at 6.30pm on the 21st so have the whole day before the tour free. I'm planning to hop on a bus to Grouse Mountain and the Capilano Suspension bridge.

Hi, I've booked myself and my brother Brian on this tour, it will be great!
