Hi There,

Just wondering if anyone is heading on this tour? It would be great to chat to a few people before the tour starts!

Cheers,

    Just booked this tour. Can’t wait!

    Are you arriving in New York early? Where are you from?

    Hey There!

    Thanks for your reply. Great to hear from someone on the tour! I’m from Australia and really looking forward to the trip. I’m travelling solo and arriving in New York in the early evening on the 5th October.

    How about you? Where are you from? On the trip on your own or with friends? Any plans to arrive in NY early?

    Look forward to hearing from you!

    I’m traveling solo as well and arriving very early on October 5th. I’m from Canada and this is my second Contiki trip.

    Hey there,

    Sounds good. What is your name? It’s my second Contiki trip too. I did one in europe ages ago. Which part excites you the most? I’m looking forward to Washington and New Orleens!

    Hey

    My name is Stephanie. I did the Wild Western tour back in 2006. What European tour did you do? I’m hoping that I can do one next summer. I think I’m looking forward to St. Augustine, Miami, and New Orleans the most.

    I talked to Contiki. We will be taking off with the Grand Southern group. We finish in New Orleans and they continue on to Los Angeles. Haven’t had a lot of luck finding people on that tour though!

    Hey Stephanie,

    How have you been? It’s not long until we go now! So you spoke to Contiki? Not quite sure what you mean? Has the tour we booked in for changed or not running now? Looking forward to meeting you in New York!

    No our tour is the same. It’s just like the Wild Western and LA to the Bay. Some people just end their tour and get off before others.

    Can’t wait I’m super excited. It’s been awhile since my last vacation. Planning on doing anything on the Thurs before our tour?

    Hey Stephanie,

    I get what you mean now! It’s all getting so close! I finish up work this Friday so it will really seem real then! I haven’t really got plans on the Thursday before the tour at this stage. How about you? If you are free we could meet up at some point? I’ve been to New York before but want to walk around a bit and maybe do a bit of shopping? How about you?

    I’m finished work this Friday as well! Can’t wait :)

    My plans for Thursday might be going to see the Statue of Liberty. I’ve been in New York state more times than I can count but I’ve never been to New York City. We should definitely meet up!

    Hey!
    Thanks Andy – I’ve gone and requested to join the group! Will be cool to meet some more people.
    Stephanie – That sounds cool, I’ve been to the Statue of Liberty before and it’s really worth doing. Maybe we could meet up and hang out after?

    It’s all getting so close now! Look forward to meeting you guys!

    I joined the group. Feel free to add me on FB.

    Sounds like a plan to me. Grab any Contiki people who are just hanging around the hotel to wander the city :)

    Planning on going to the tour meeting?
