Hello! I’m hoping to book on this tour just as soon as I get my bonus paid at the end of March! I’m 29 & from just north of London in the UK.

Just a bit apprehensive about travelling on my own!

Hi! I’m Jessica, 22 from Toronto. I’m really excited to be doing this tour! It’s my first time travelling alone, but I did a Contiki Trip (Mediterranean Highlights), last May and fell in love with Italy, so I can’t wait to go back.

Just got the hotel information package today!
So excited!
I’m familiar with the hotel in La Spezia and it’s pretty nice! It’s close to the city. I liked the old fashioned lift, where it is open bars and such. It was my first time being in one.

No worries Brian, it seems like a few of us posting here are travelling solo!

Hi Daniela! No typo, since day 1 is the 5th when we catch our plane, and our tour starts in
Italy on day 2, which is the 6th 
Are you coming on your own?

Hope the tour works out for you, Michael! Congrats on graduating

Thanks Jessica !! So much stress is gone and only a little remains.

Question for you or for anyone else that matter, has anyone flown Zoom Air before? If so, how was the flight?

BTW, its looking like I will be solo on this trip as well.

a co-worker has flown air zoom to london and she enjoyed the flight! i don’t know anyone who has done the rome flight though. this website might help you out: http://www.airlinequality.com/Airlines/Z4.htm
someone posted it on another part of the forum and i thought it was a pretty informative site.

i’ll be landing on the 6th, but it’s great if you can land a day before so you have that time to rest up and explore before you meet the tour.

Hello Everyone,

Is anyone going to be in Italy early? I will be arriving on 4th and I rented out a a two person room at a hostel because I did not want to share a room with others I didn’t know unless they were on the tour as well. If anyone else is going early it would be fun to meet up since I will be alone those few days before the tour starts. Congrats Michael where u graduationg from?

Brian

I’d call if I were you, just to double check. I leave on the trip 2 days after you (I leave on the 7th) and I am getting my information This Friday. Maybe just call and remind them or see if there is a problem. Maybe the postman took your package

Job start date June 30th, meaning as this is written simply italia is being booked.

Jessica – Thanks for website.
Brian – I will be arriving on the 4rth as well, but I have a friend who lives in Rome who has offered his apt to crash. I should have everything settled by tomorrow/Saturday.

21 days? I think so.

Hey all! It looks like I may have to go on the 7-19th instead of these dates to accomodate a flight to sicily since I am planning on staying there after the tour. Hopefully my agent can figure something out by Tuesday so I can stay with this group.
