Hey guys,
Just got off the phone to a contiki consultant person – i was asking about our last day when we arrive in New York for Independance Day. He said he cant guarantee anything, but if everyone wanted to get in earlier (not the scheduled 5pm time) our tour manager may let us leave the previous destination early….. but he said if not, dont worry people in new york dont go out until late at night anyway.
So even if we miss doing a cruise around the statue of liberty we’ll still have an awesome night out. He kinda giggled and said oh dont worry Independance day in new york? you guys will have a blast!!!
Eeeeek so excited! not long to go now!
see you all soon

Hello all,
23y/o female from Melbourne. Just booked myself on this trip as well – could not be more excited!
Pretty excited to see a lot of fellow ‘solo’ travelers on this tour too!
I am arriving on 29th May to spend 10days in California (San Fran, San Diego, LA etc) before we leave and after the tour have almost 7 weeks to ‘wing’ the rest of my trip…
Hope there are some more people on the tour who are keen to travel around for a bit after the tour finishes????
Cannot wait for NY! Going to be the most AMAZING place – and arriving Independence Day even better!
My email is tarynkirby@hotmail.com if anyone is keen to chat and get excited as we count down!- 0 people like this

Hey Guys…just booked up for the Grand southern with a mate. We are from WA so couple more Aussie’s for the trip. Cant wait, hope next 5 months fly’s bye. For you solo travellers you will have the best time on contiki, so dont be nervous about travelling, i did europe 2 years back and had best time on contiki and Europe, still keep in contact with alot of them these days. So whats everyone plans for hotel after on the 4th, im looking at staying at the drop off point. does anyone no the name of the hotel because there is 2 on the list.

^ I am pretty sure it is New York Skyline Hotel. At least that is what I hope and the one I booked through Contiki for the end of the tour…
