  Hey guys! Just thought I’d pop back and say hello coz it’s been quite a while (considering I check it everyday lol!).
  
  Yeah I’ve come to the conclusion it’s okay we can’t do the rafting because we can do that back here in Aus. Though I’m definitely paragliding there – what a great way to see Austria!
  
  Omigosh so much to do to get ready!!!! I must buy a suitcase hehehe.

  We’re staying at the Royal National. Just easy because we meet first thing in the morning downstairs. Will be good to go for a drink before and/or after the pre-departure meeting.

  Welcome Tara! Lol! If you read back over our posts we really have just been babbling on (well I have!!) hehe. Probably so people at home don’t get sick of us being excited about the trip!!!
  
  Cool well we can organise drinks then… a bit closer to the date. I’m not exactly sure what time I’m getting back to London on the Sunday – we’ve decided to go to Ireland and England now instead of Spain due to flying times!!
  
  Jess, I REALLY shouldn’t check it as much as I do – but I work at a computer and sometimes… a bit tooooo frequently…. I get frustrated or bored with my work!!
  
  I know there’s so much I have to organise before I go… but it’s all gone out of my head so I dunno what to do next!!! (besides the suitcase hehe).

  ….guess what everyone…. we won’t be on your trip anymore <!--graemlin::(--> I just had a phone call from STA Travel – seems there has been a communication issue between STA and Contiki and they didn’t book us on the trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We’re fully paid and everything.
  
  However, they will be working their butts off and doing everything they can to get us on another trip (as it’s fully booked out!), which may be a Timeout tour for no extra $$. They will even pay for any required flight changes and whatever.
  
  I’m so disappointed I won’t get to meet you guys now – all other trips seem to go in the other direction. Once we know which trip we’re on, I’ll compare and see whether we cross over somewhere! Will let you know.
