I just booked this tour aswell, doing a few days in LA before hand & about 5 days in NY afterward.
First time traveling solo, and in the states so really excited, should be great!- 0 people like this

Hey everyone, booking this tour tomorrow, I’ve done an European contiki before so i can definitely say don’t stress if your doing it yourself, by the end of the first day and especially first night out everyone is getting along and it feels like you’ve known each other forever.

Just noticed this tour got a definite departure status, so its all going ahead!
I also saw in some of the other threads that facebook groups are an easy way for everyone to chat with others on the same tour, so I might set one up for everyone to join.- 0 people like this

Hey everyone, I’m 99% sure I’ll be on this tour. 1st Contiki coming from Adelaide. Looking at spending 4 nights in LA before the tour followed by 3 nights in New York then heading to Aspen to hit the slopes on the way home for 5 days. If anyone is keen to come to Aspen please let me know as I would love a travel buddy and someone to split the accom with. Not sure on Hotels in LA and New York yet either.
