Hi Aaron. My best friend and I are flying one day early to London, but we are not staying after the tour. We wish we can! I have to go back to work that following week.

My friend and I fly out of London on April 3rd, so we get a few extra days after the tour.
I’m doing the Italian Espresso tour, a few days in Spain, then meeting up with my friend for a St. Patty’s tour too before the this one. All in all, I’ll be doing 5 weeks over there. Cannot waaaaait!- 0 people like this

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! Now the count down definitely begins! I can’t wait!!! Hope everyone had a great time ringing in 2013. :)
P.S. I’m already gathering little things here and there for the trip and I have no idea what size luggage to bring, lol.
2 wks is long time for me since i’m used to going away for 1 week at a time. People say hotels in Europe are generally small so keep it simple….Suggestions?- 0 people like this

Happy new year Kat and everyone in this tour. May your 2013 be filled with blessings and health!
Ps: Kat i heard that some hotels have laundry services but not 100% sure, and i believe they want you to have a suite case no bigger than 28 inches due to the space on the bus.- 1 person likes this

Hey everybody!!
Happy new year from South Africa!! With such awesome plans for March, i know 2013 is going to be amazing!!!
About the bags, there is a limit of 20kg per person, but i am not sure about the size!! Please let me know if anybody knows?
We finally bought our flight tickets!! Flying to London via Dubai on 15 March so we will have a couple of days in England before the tour starts! Flying back directly after the tour on the 30th, hope we make it to the airport on time!
We are planning to apply for visas within the next two weeks! Hope everybodys planning and preparations for our Contiki goes smoothly!
Cheers!- 1 person likes this

Eudy & Sune, thank you! The info is really helpful. It’s funny because I had gotten a 28 inch bag but it looked small so I returned it, lol. But actually other 28 inch bags looked bigger so that should be more than enough.
Sune, my friend Mai and I will be flying in a day early and staying in the same hotel where we are all supposed to meet (The Imperial) just in case we bump into each other. :) Our flight would be arriving at 9am so not sure what time we’d get to the hotel. We are wondering what to do once we get there so hopefully we get there at a decent time enough to catch a bus to sight see. Let me know of any ideas.
Happy packing everyone!- 0 people like this
