Hi Claire!
My name is Becky. Where are you coming from? What day do you plan on arriving in London?
So far all of us are staying at the Royal National. What about you?
Birthday celebrations are the best. We will have to do it up right in Italy to celebrate your birth!!- 0 people like this

Coming from the US definitely has its perks. We do get a lot more luggage than other places. : )
Packing is definitely going to be awful. I will probably back my bag and then tell myself I have to get rid of half the stuff that it is it…I just have so many pairs of shoes!! haha- 0 people like this

Do you mean on our own or out of the Contiki optional activities?
From what I have read, Georges Boat off of Corfu is a must do. And Paradise Beach, Oia Sunset
and Boat Cruising off the greek islands are on my list. I also want to take the red buses around London to sightsee. : ) So FUN!
What activities are you interested in doing?- 0 people like this

Theres so much I want to do its crazy! I definitely want to see Pompeii, and do some of the water sports things in Corfu, but mostly I was just going to see what other people were keen for and kinda just go with it I guess…
I wish we were going tomorrow, time is moving far to slowly for my liking..- 0 people like this

Even I don’t think I have hundreds of pairs of shoes, and I have more than enough… Leaving some behind is going to be sad, esp cause I have no immediate plans to come back to the U.S, might stay in the UK and work or travel a bit more

I’m trying to come up with a way to speed up time, so far all my thinking margeritas have done is give me a hangover!- 0 people like this

haha thinking margeritas… i like it.
i have to say though time is going pretty fast for me, its usually the last few weeks that are the worst cos your like so close but so far away.
although i kinda need to time, havent been as good with saving as i would have liked lol- 0 people like this

I think we all may have to do all of the excursions that Contiki has. They all sound way to fun to pass up. Is there anything, outside of what Contiki offers, that people are interested in doing?
So Excited. I can’t wait!!- 0 people like this
