during the day there is probably more stuff to visit, like we only “see” the colosseum" where i actually want to go inside, things like that. i will prob do a bit of shopping aawell but not heaps as my suitcase is only small. but yeah at night im thinking drinking is on the menu, lol

in london from the 19th, my cousins are brazilian but they’re living there atm so i’ll be staying with them, the weekend before contiki should be fun!
<!--graemlin::)-->staying after til the 27th of july, you? im a bit of a shopaholic so im getting the max size suitcase haha x- 0 people like this

9 May 2008 Danni said
sounds like fun
<!--graemlin::)--> i actually started out with the max size and then got one size smaller, the biggest was half my size.
after contiki mcmuff and i, r going to the greek islands for a week and then i go to rome and meet up with my mum, uncle, sister and brother in law (at which point mcmuff comes back to aust.) and then i got with my family down to sicily.
bcoz after contiki i have a few internal flights i know they r going to slog me for excess baggage, so i will prob chuck out some of the cloths i take with me, or post some stuff back, also i dont fancy carry much more than 20kg, i am not the biggest person, itll kill me, lol.
i dont mind shopping, but hating it at the moment coz i dont have money to spend (im saving for the trip) but if i find heaps of nice stuff that i wouldnt normally get in Aust, or adidas and italia stuff i will definitely get it.
do u drink a lot? – out of mcmuff and i, she is the bigger drinker, lol- 0 people like this

lol oi… just cuz u cant hold ur liquor woman!… im in london from the 19th too! you wanna meet up for a couple of drinks that nyt carla? and considering danni is being a chicken n wont go paragliding with me your kinda stuck with me for it :-) lol
i hope you dont buy too much stuff danni cause i can sooo see you by the end of contiki just standing at london airport waiting for the athens flight and the suitcase is like exploding out the sides and im running around saying ‘WHERES DANNI WHERES DANNI’ and i cant see you because your standing behind the overflowing suitcase.! lol but then again ill have bernie with me so itll be ok…ive gotta start looking at what im goin to pack considering its like 39days :S meep!- 0 people like this

meeting on the 19th sounds good! i’ll just check if my cousins have anything planned already- welcome dinner ect
<!--graemlin::)--> is it kirsten or kirsty? it’d be good to get the info packs early so i can start planning i’ve got to narrow down over 60dresses to 10 at most its going to be hard haha. not the biggest drinker in general im the same without it really just more excited about everything when i am drinking! never had a hangover so hoping it’ll stay that way while on contiki~! i’ve been addicted to reading all these contiki blogs for tips and stuff, so useful like putting long comedies onto the ipod and all the info on markets http://www.thehill.co.uk/market.htm

10 May 2008 Danni said
lol, yeah i am extremely organised, my list is extensive and lists everything i am taking.
yeah i am, i will still have my day bag (an across the body shoulder bag) but for my passport, extra money, emergency bankcard i will definitely have it.
also i dont want u think im weird or somthing but ive also done a trial pack to make sure everything fits in my smaller suitcase
<!--graemlin::)-->

10 May 2008 carla. said
no i don’t think your weird- i’ll do that as soon as i can
<!--graemlin::)--> nope not worried, i chose to go on my own, my friend and i talked about doing it together but decided we’d go seperatly so we could get the full experience our own individual ways- we’re REALLY differen’t haha shes on her tour atm and is LOVING it – i’m so jealous every time i get an email with new pics and storys. i’d feel to withdrawn if i had to sleep by myself every night looking forward to meeting some of the other girls! i hope they don’t snore? it’d be ok tho i bought ear plugs for sleeping on the bus. x- 0 people like this

uhhh i believe im allowed to go out the nyt before you get there muff face lol i have to say money belts are the best thing invented wen ur overseas just on the sheer basis that if someone takes ur bag its fyn cause u still have ur passport and money to buy a new bag but if u just have everything in ur bag ur kinda screwed.. are you jealous cause me and carla are going paragliding together danni naaaaaaaaawww…. my names kirstie but everyone calls me kirst or mcmuff or muff i tend to respond to any name tho so yeah lol

im bringing 3 pairs of ear plugs, i intend on wearing them a lot, lol. I’m really bad at sleeping with noise like not just snoring, like deep breathing and ticking clocks, it just keeps my mind active and i cant sleep.
yes kirst i am insanely jealous, not!!!! ill prob decide wen i get there.
carla u can prob tell from the question i posted on the “escapade party party party” i am really concerned about the acc. and facilities – i know it may seem stupid but i am actually deciding atm the best way to pack tolietries and the setup of facilities impacts it.
i also just realised im posting a lot on this, so i should prob stop. im pretty talkative naturally so my typing tends to be same way

im the same i can ramble on for ages if i get started!
<!--graemlin::)--> if we keep posting pretty much every day like this we wont have anything to talk about in person by the time we actually go on contiki! with the accom. im guessing if it was really bad ppl would complain and contiki would do something about it so its probs all good- HOPEFULLY! HAHA x- 0 people like this

hmmmmm…………u have a point. i think ill save some for contiki, lol. i never thought about it like that, unless everyone is too drumk to know the diff!
<!--graemlin::)-->
also i hope u dont think i was being rude telling kirst not to meet u on the first night coz i wont be there, its just that i want to be there aswell
