Greek Island Hopping - 16th August 2012
21 Mar 2012 beckylou1988 asked
Hi!
Is anyone going on this trip? I've booked and would love to start chatting to people before going. Might need to start stocking up on the sun cream already - can't believe how hot it gets in Greece in August!

Hey Becky,
I’ve booked this trip as well, can’t wait! We’re definitely going to need sunscreen.
It’s going to be so nice skipping winter in Australia to have summer in Europe!

Hi Steph,
Yay – I’m glad someone else is going on this trip! I’m from the UK and it will be our summer too although that never really means anything! Are you travelling with friends or by yourself? I’m excited too – I’ve already bought a few bikinis as it’s been a while since my last summer holiday.

I don’t think it’s that humid, but it’s relative, depends what you compare it to.
Becky, I’m traveling by myself but meeting friends in Belgium for a week before being on my own for the rest of my trip. Are you doing any other travel, or just this tour?

I’m just doing the tour. Never travelled by myself before. I was thinking of doing a USA tour but I thought Greece was a good taster for me since it’s only a 4 hour flight for me. Have you travelled by yourself before? Where else are you going apart from Belgium and Greece?

You’re so lucky, only 4 hours! It takes over 20 hours from here. I haven’t travelled by myself before either so it’ll be interesting. After Belgium I’m doing the European Encounter tour starting in Amsterdam and finishing in Paris then I’ll have a week free before the Greece tour so I’m away for 7 weeks all up. Such a good break from work!

Hi Steph & Becky – I am on the Aug 18th Greek Island Hopping, I think it’s the same one? Coming from Vancouver, Canada. I am flying in a day early and would love to meet up before the tour if anyone is available.

Hi Mallory, Steph & Becky,
I am also on the Aug 18th one, coming from Boston, MA USA. I am arriving in Greece in the morning on August 19th, so if any of you are around before the tour actually begins I would love to meet up as well. I can’t believe its only about 2 months away!
