After the tour im heading onto the north by north east.

  How exciting to finally hear from someone on the same tour…And an Aussie to.
  I am also from Oz, live in Sydney and am 27.
  I have done a bit of travelling with my friends but never gone alone before so yes, it is a little scary.
  It sounds like a lot do it though, and enjoy it.
  I am prob going to have a few says in NYC to check it all out and then possibly do anither tour. I am trying to decide on doing something like the Grand Northern or NBNE, or weather to head over to Mexico for one of the tours there.
  So where are you based in OZ?

  Im from bundaberg, up in Queensland, bundy rum… At the end of the grand southern im booked in 2 do the new york explorer, it was more cost effective and being on my own i thought that a group setting wld be better. I was going to do the grand northern but chose the NBNE for money reasons, im hoping to go contiki europe in 2010 if i like this trip, so i had to sacrifice the longer trip to save a bit of money. How long are you planning on being in LA before the tour starts? Maybe a group of us on the tour cld do disneyland 2gether, going on rides alone is a bit of a bummer.

  I think i am actually going to have about 3 weeks in LA before the trip.
  
  I am planning on doing the Wild western tour before GS and may have a friend coming over there for a few weeks. If not i will probably fit another small tour or something in between.
  
  It would be great if we could meet up before we head off anyway.
  
  I def agree that Disneyland alone would not be the best.
  
  I want to do Universal Studio’s also.
  
  I really am looking forward to it all.

  Its so cool 2 hear that more pple r going and that every1 is a solo traveller, i can be quite shy but if every1 in the same boat being alone itll be easier. Have you done any travelling b4 Lizzie,im a bit scared as well but i think im more scared about arriving in LA alone than anything else. Im arriving on the 8th and doing a day trip around LA on the 9th and a day trip to seaworld on the 10th and disneyland 4 the next 3 days. Im staying at the contiki hotel 4 the whole time its easier 4 me that way.

  Hey Guys <!--graemlin::)-->
  
  I’m Sarah, 23, from Sydney. I am also just about to book this tour! It sounds great. I am also planning to stay at the Best Western (Contiki) accomodation for 2 nights prior to the tour starting and also staying for another 3 nights in NY after, hopefully also in the Marrakech Hotel where I plan to hop on and off the sightseeing bus around town for the next 3 days or so at my leisure. After this I am thinking of heading up to Boston (either by train or bus??) for 3 nights to have a look around before flying back to LA then home to Sydney.
  
  I’m also interested in meeting up before the tour in Anaheim should it fit in with people’s plans and also to hang around in NY with anyone else who would like to explore!!
  
  To me, May cannot come quick enough!!!
