What happened to the message board? The trip is still on right? or maybe no one is really excited anymore.

Are you guys packing light? I know I packed way too much on my last contiki! Just bought a new carry on… I’m also wondering if our tour will be full or not.
When will y’all start packing? When is too soon;)

Has anyone received their package yet? We’re getting antsy waiting for the itinerary!
Chris – we’re both just bringing a backpack and plan on doing some laundry when it’s convenient
I remember when I booked the trip she said it was a definite go – maybe half full – I wonder how many people are going though; I found a few on the Contiki Facebook group- 0 people like this

Sam&Jen I sure hope you have thought long and hard about the “one backpack each” thing! My travel agent had said they are put together and sent on April 10th… So then we should look forward to settling our anxiousness…

to tell you the truth it looks the same as whats on the internet except the only difference is that there is information about the hotels we are staying at. But to answer your question – it still looks great!

Ya, we’ve thought about it. But we’re traveling for another 2 weeks after Contiki and we don’t want to drag bags with us everywhere. I’ll probably buy a nice purse somewhere to keep extra stuff :)
Can’t decide on how many of each clothing item we should bring – or how many warm/cold clothes… Any suggestions?

Im borrowing a world phone for the month and they said it would work because it has the GSM connection but id just end up paying $2/min …. I’m just worried it wont work when I get there and then I have to carry it around the whole time and buy a disposable phone anyway :p

With Europe primarily having better networks/network coverage I think you have nothing to worry about it not working… Are you looking to have it as a emergency phone?
We are getting so so close!!!
