    Stupid question…but do you have any idea how much one should budget for spending money…

    No biggie – I’m 32. My friend will be 33. Hope all the kiddos ar back in school by late October! I can’t really say on budgeting, depending on what type of spender you are.

    I’ll actually be joining this tour in Vienna. I’ve already been to Berlin and Prague. This is my 3rd contiki trip. Wavoes: dont worry about going alone to Europe for the 1st time, I did a few years ago on a contiki trip in 2003, was a lot of fun. I highly recommend taking your atm/debit card, easiest way to get cash when traveling, and least fees.

    I probably should’ve done more calculating. I started seeing Euros as US dollars, which was a nasty shock when I got home and did all my calculations. haha

    Welcome – everyone should post pics and real names if you can so we’ll recognize each other that first night – was funny seeing people in London last year that we’d been chatting with online.

    I have to buy my airfare tonight!

    Well it kinda worked, trying to learn to load a picture into this site. You have to click on the “me.” My name is Kimber. I am excited to meet you all there. Tamara and I are flying in a day early, is anyone else?

    Cool deal – my friend and I are getting there the morning of the 27th, so unfortunately not a day early!

    I’ll be arriving at Tegel airport at 1140am on the 27th…is anyone else going to be there around the same time so I won’t be getting lost by myself?!

    I’m going to be getting there around 11am coming from Milan. We should meet up and head over to the hotel together.

    Yes, I’m on the same flight as Jo. My phone won’t be working over there, but I’ll definitely look for her.

    I can’t seem to figure out how to add a picture here. Let me know and I’ll post one of myself that you can show her.

    Hi Monica, The image has to be hosted on a web server somewhere. Then you just click the landscape picture in this reply box and enter the URL. That’s all!

    Let’s see if this works.

    Nope. That didn’t work. I tried to post a picture that’s on myspace. I suppose I can just give you that link. It’s www.myspace.com/mpr77

    Hello again! Well, only about 2 more weeks to go. I think I am overly excited to get my travel papers – has anyone gotten theirs?
    Another random question: I just got a new digital camera and my old memory chips don’t fit the new. A coworker of mine mentioned that you can use an iPod as an external hard drive on the go, and load your pics onto it as you run out of space; instead of buying lots more memory cards. Has anyone heard of this before or how to do it? I can’t imagine how it would work without bringing a laptop as well – which would take up a bunch more room than a few chips, anyhow thought I’d throw it out there and see.

    It would be great to meet everyone at the airport, i’m arriving on British Airways flight #982 from Heathrow…anyone can send me an email “adamaparsons(at)hotmail.com” and we can figure it out…anyone have Facebook, I don’t have Myspace?

    Hey Maria, turns out that Jo and I are on the same flight leaving Miami as well. I’ll definitely look for her at the Miami airport.

    I live in east Kendall and am on the beach just about every weekend. Do you come down here often?

  • 15 Oct 2007 gtfo said

    Hey Monica, Hope you don’t mind – I sent her your Myspace link so she knows to look for you too. She doesn’t have an account, but I think she can see the main pic.

    I haven’t been to Miami since January, but I’ll need to make it down there soon. I usually go at least once a year. Last time I went, we had an “eventful” night at Mansion – turns out my debit card # was stolen as I left a bar tab open, and someone ran up $1300 worth of charges to it. Oh, and I got dumped that night. Haha. Here’s hoping my next trip is more calm.

    Thanks Maria, I found out my cell will work in Europe, so can send you a text when I get through customs. Send a message to my hotmail account and we’ll figure it out.
