I know hey! I plan on doing the Grand Northern first, and then the Grand Southern, only because I can get my flights cheaper that way – Ive been researhing and you can get round-the-world flights with onestop (part of quantas) for just under $4000. Thats from Sydney-London-New York-Mexico-Honolulu-Sydney. It would be an absolutely amazing holiday I think, all up I estimate I’ll be gone around 3 months. How exciting! Saving my butt off at the moment – thats why I’m going next year – cant afford to go this year because its going to take me that long to save up! :-p Let me know if you’re going – itd be nice to have someone to do the whole trip with! :-)

Hey Kas, I was looking at maybe doing the Southern first and then Northern.. I would have to have alook at flights also to see which would work out better for me also. I haven’t made any plans as to which order just yet but once i see the dates of the tours and look at flights from my travel agent.
Yeah would be pretty cool to know and have someone to do the whole trip with in the lead up!! :-)Wow sounds like you have an awesome trip planned!! Doing any other contiki tours on this trip??

Hey! i’ve just got home from 7 and a half weeks in Europe. I did a 29 day Contiki through Europe and it was absolutely amazing! i def have the travel bug now and am keen to go again! looking at the grand southern LA-NY, leaving mid july. anyone else? i’ll be doing it alone. Next year hopefully i will be studying abroad in Boston second semester, so if all goes to plan i will be doing this contiki, flying into LA looking about California a bit and then do the tour and stay in NY after a bit to recover and see more before i head off to study and travel more!…

hey jerry, i havent looked as far as specific dates yet but the 21st june sounds like a really good time to be going. im glad it seems that quite a few people do contiki by themselves, i was always worried id be in a group with groups of friends and/or couples. would love to meet new people..
