  It came up on the invoice as I booked the extra night through Contiki. I know it looks awesome aye. Im pretty certain we’re staying in hotels throughout the trip.

  I think thats a awesome idea posting up flight arrivals times etc. Looks like wer all coming from around the same area of the world so will probably be all equally jet-lagged although I dont think itl be too bad haha

  NZ is 21 hours ahead of LA. Shouldnt be too bad, I work shift work so im kinda used to running on minimal sleep at weird times haha that was the reason Im getting in early so I’ve got time to recover for the “Hollywood Club Crawl” on the first night! :D I assume we’re all going to be doing this right?

  What other optionals is everyone planning on doing?

  Hey guys,

  We’re flying / arriving in LA on the 12th of July. So we’ll be there a few days before the tour starts to get over jetlag, shop and experience the LA Fri/Sat nightlife!

  Anyone else there early?

  I fly in two days before the tour starts in LA… Thinking about doing Disneyland on those two days because I have been told you need more then one day to get through the whole park! I’m then staying in New York until 2/8/13 and doing a day tour down to Washington DC!

  Hey Karolinka,
  I’m staying at the Ramada Plaza West Hollywood for two nights prior to the tour. I think we’re doing Disneyland on one of the days before we start. :) We fly out of Brissy at 7pm on the 12th and get into LA at 8am in the morning on the 12th – Gotta love how we’re ahead of time in the US!

  Hey Karo,
  I booked my extra night through Contiki so it comes up on my invoices. I get sent an updated invoice everytime I make a payment :)

  All the itinerary details (flights, hotels etc) I think we receive about 45 days prior to the tour. You should check with your travel agent though as it may vary if going through them.

  Hmm so my flight out of NY on the last day has been shifted to 8:45am. If I understand correctly that means I need to be at the airport by about 6-6:30am at the very latest. Im guessing I would then need to wake up about 4am. There is no way I’m having an early night on the last night so looks like we’re going to have to have a crazy rowdy all-nighter in NY on the last night! Lock it in your diaries now people its going to be awesome!!!

  Hey fellow travelers!
  We are flying out of Melbourne On the 10th of July staying in LA for a few days before the tour starts and staying in the hotel The night before the tour starts. (keen as for drinks pre tour) the plan is to do orange county and Disney land before the tour. Once the tour finishes we are staying in New York for an extra week, then off to Hawaii for a week on the way home. Is anyone else keen to do the Alcatraz night tour I’ve heard it’s a must do but you need to ore book tickets.
  Only 97 days to go! Until the hecticness begins! U guys Better pack your drinking shoes!!!

  Cheers Sam x x
