Anyone booked in on the 26th of Jan 2013?
19 Nov 2012 Chrissy14 asked
Hey, i'm wondering if anybody else is booked on the Island Hopping West leaving the 26th of Jan. I'll be travelling by myself and thinking about booking the tour this week.
Would be good to see if anyone else on here is also locked in... =)

Violeta i’m often in St Kilda on a sunday. Otherwise down there a bit for coffees etc. I also did La to the Bay back in 09 and that was my first one that i did by myself. Leah just try not to stress about the whole “travelling solo” part. Your in a group and you become pretty close very quickly! Its the best way travelling by yourself coz you just do what you want to do.
I’m on facebook… Its Chrissy Urmston. Tried looking for you guys but it was hard to pick the right person! lol- 1 person likes this
