  Hey Bec
  
  Im also from Perth and my boyfriend and i are thinking of doing this tour. Im a school teacher so the only problem is getting the last week of school in term 4 off so we dont miss the first 3 days!
  
  My sister did this tour around the same time last year and she took lots of stuff to layer and bought a massive coat over there. She also said long johns, beanies and mittens are essential and closed in shoes! Hope that helps..makes packing so much harder when you’re travelling in the cold! Hope that helps

  Hi there everyone, I’m Kara. My best friend (Jess) and I are booking this tour in a couple of weeks. We are totally excited. Although we too are concerned about what clothes to take to keep warm. Layering is definately the option we are going with… Has anyone thought about how much spending money to take? I really wanna do all of the optionals! Oh boy, im so excited!! <!--graemlin::D--> talk to you all soon <!--graemlin::)-->

  Hi! I’m booked into this tour, and I can’t wait. I’m going to be spending a few days in LA before the tour starts, and I’ll be on my own, so I’m interested in finding anyone else to meet up with before the tour starts.
