  Hi, everyone! I’m Anarosa. I’m SO psyched for this trip – and to meet you all! Signed up for the June 20th Grand Adventurer a few days ago, and this is all feeling unreal. This’ll be my first time venturing into the Southern Hemisphere! :D

  Hey Anarosa,
  This trip is going to be awesome. Remember, it’s totally different seasons down there, so for people like us, we are going from HOT to chilly.

  Welcome to the group Anarosa,
  And yea this opposite weather thing will be different. Not gonna lie though it will be nice escaping from the 100 degree heat and humidity here in Arkansas.

  Hi everyone, a friend of mine has just come back from nz and just to let u know it’s gonna be pretty cold, like 10-13 degrees and have been advised that u will less likely need shorts and t shirts. It’s freezing in melb atm which is where I am from so will be colder over there. But on the bright side we may see snow :)

  Recieved my contiki pack earlier in the week , now it’s starting to feel real. It’s definitely going to be cold over there but I think a couple of pairs of shorts will be the way I go just to relax in. Although 10-13 degrees is tropical compared to where I’m at we have already had a bit of snow this year haha

  So what does these packs contain? I’ve already left home and is on my way to oz and then nz and therefore will not receive my pack.. Are there essential items for the trip? Ive already checked in online and got an email with a confirmation that the customer service said was the only ticket I need, but am I missing out on useful information and such? And is Melbourne freezing? I’ll land there in 3 days and Ive just gotten used to the sudden summer that hit London!

  You Aussies and your Celcius. Hahaha. 10-13 sounds horrible, but that’s because 10-13 degrees here would mean everything is frozen. After doing the conversion, thats about 52 degrees for me. Not to bad, but still makes being out on the water sound pretty miserable.
