Hi guys, my name is Tiffany, im travelling to the USA, after my trip to Europe. I'm travelling solo and would like to meet a few people doing the same trip as i am. The Best of USA.

It would be great to meet people from the same tour so i can getto know a few people before i leave.

Hope to hear from anyone soon.

Tiffany

Hey how are you,

I will be going on the best of usa tour in october as well, there is going to be a small group of us.(2 boys, 2 girls)

It is going to be the first time that 3 of us have been to the states, the other has been a few times.

Anyhow just seen your msg and thought I would reply.

Are you going to be doing any extras? A couple of us are thinking we would like to take a trip to the grand canyon, but were not 100% sure yet.

Cant wait for it, should be awesome!

Shannon

Heyy

I was starting to think no-one was going to be doing this tour with me haha..

I am wanting to do a few of the optionals but i dont know about the Grand Canyon, im scared of heights lol..

I'll be heading to the states after Europe so i will be in a full buzz haha..

Have you booked the October 19th tour also, or is it another date?

I'm so excited, ive found one friend on tour for Europe .. maybe i've found one for America haha [=

Hey,

Yeah we are all booked for the Oct 19th tour also.

Were flying in from Australia 1 day before, I think we arive about midday and staying at the hotel that contiki starts from, I was hopping that I would be able to get the afternoon to explore a bit of disneyalnd as it seems to be right next to the hotel, but I'll see as I may be really tired, who knows.

Are you going straight to the states from europe, You're going to be all holidayd out (-:"

I know the 2 girls i'm going with want to do a couple of the extra (sex & the city tour, etc.) So I am definitelly going to skip that!

Were definitelly booking a tour of alcatraz though, I'm pretty sure were just going to book everything in when were there anyway, see how we go.

And then were staying on a extra 3-4 or so days in New York at the end of the tour. (changing hotels though) Did you know the NYC marathon is on on the 2nd Nov. It was crazy trying to book a hotel for those extra few days, apparentlly it's a MASSIVE thing.

I wonder if the tour will be booked out? If it will be mostlly australians? None of us have ever been on a contiki tour before!

Have a awesome time on your trip before, when do you do that?

Well It did say somewhere in the contiki brochure thingy itinerary that we have free time over the two days while we're there to do our own thing, and id love to go to disneyland and universal studios..

Aw i dont think ill be "holidayed out" =P but pretty close to it haha

Yeh, im not a big fan 0f the sex and the city tour .. How old are you all?

Alcatraz.. hm i might hae to look up that a bit more and find out what that is..

ive never heard of the NYC marathon before, what's that? I was going to stay one more night in New York fter my tour finishes but mum said i should just come home .. i think it's cause she's going to miss me =P

Ive never been overseas.. haha so this is my first trip snd also first contiki..

Thanks haha im so looking forward to Europe, ive been thinking of actually moving there or something..I leave for London on the 29th of August.

Where are you all from?

If you want add me to msn .. x_xwattabimbox_x@hotmail.com

The NYC marathon takes place the end of October/early November each year. It's a 26 mile (45km) run through the 5 boroughs of New York.

Tiffany,

You're welcome. Let me know if there's anything else about New York you'd like to know more about. I'll do my best to answer it.

Thanks. I just love to travel and cannot get enough of it. I just can't wait to bbook my next trip.
Is this your first Contiki?

Hey Loogie, have you done "the best of usa" trip before?

Is there anything we should know about the states, the 4 cities in particullar, LA, San Fran, Vegas & NY?

Do you know if the city is any different when the marathon is on, as in is everything still open, easy to access, etc.

Oh by the way msznumeroUNO we are all between 20 & 25. How old are you?

No, I never went on this trip before.

When the marathon is on a lot of the city is closed down until mid afternoon, especially Central Park where the race finishes.

What would you like to know the 4 cities you've mentioned?

Hey explorer.. ill be 21..

You guys travelling from Sydney?

i've been countint down the days till i leave for Europe haha cant believe im going

Nah, leaving from Adelaide, although we do have a small stop over in sydeny before we board our internationall flight.

It's ok, I'm counting them down to. 290days, It seems like heeaps, hopefully the time flys (-:"

I have been thinking about how much spending $ I should take, I have no idea, so I'm just going to save every cent and hope it's enough!

Haha yeah true .. it's a short tour the only thing im more worried about is the tips well obviously money as well but the tips i think thats a bit silly .. they get paid to earn money not for us to tip them rofl..

i think i leve in like 240 days or something..maybe a bit less i forget
