Hi All,

This question is for someone that has actually been over to Europe. I was wondering what the usual type of clothing was when going out to the clubs in Europe? Is it the same sort of fashion as you would wear when clubbing in Australia or is it a bit more casual like going to a pub?

I just want to make sure i look the part and don’t over dress or under dress

Any info would be great

Hey,

Has anyone heard of TravelSIM?

I will be overseas for 5 weeks.

I am wondering if i should get a phone card or the ekit from contiki to call back home only for emergency.

Or should i just skip it and just email back home.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone –

I am going on the Inspiration tour May 17h – June 6th. I am using my miles and flying in and out of London. The trip says that you will get to the Paris airport by 10 a.m. Anyone know what time you will get into London from the free Contiki transfer ride from Paris?

Thanks,

Right… i can’t find this challenge elsewhere, so it may just be unique to sarah™ but darn it, i wanna know!! Who else has tried the fergburger challenge? Has anyone else finished it?

FYI the fergburger challenge goes as thus: While in Q-Town, you must finish no less than 2 “Big Al” burgers, and 2 chips, within 12 hours.

So, who has attempted it? who finished it? and who took one look and said, “no way”?

Hi All, i’m doing the grand Southern in December, but after we finish we’ve got some time in NY, Toronto & Chicago.

I’m desperate to get to an NHL game, but i can’t find any season schedule on any of the team websites.

Anyone have any info on the schedule for this year? Or know good places to get tickets?

Thanks heaps,

hey guys,

anyone planning to take this trip in June or July ‘08? If you’ve gone during these months, how’s the weather there?

Also, in Australia, does summer refer to our winter months and vice versa?

lastly, anyone know if airfare is included in the prices listed on the contiki website?

thanks!

Hi, Im an Aussie and Im doing the UE+Egypt in July/August this year. I was wondering if anyone has any information on the Visa requirements for the Ultimate European tour with Egypt option. I lived and worked in the UK last year after obtaining a 2 year UK working holiday Visa which expires at the end of this year. Do I require another visa – this Schengen Visa? – and is it true you can obtain visas for Turkey and Egypt upon arrival with an Australian passport? I don’t want to take any chances…

Forgive me for bringing up the topic of money – I know a lot has been discussed before. I have had conflicting advice about what to take to Europe in terms of money. I already have a debit and Visa card. I am planning on taking at least a couple hundred in each currency to get me started.

My first question – Is it necessary to have a second debit card as backup (from another bank)? I was wondering if the potential of having your debit card eaten by an ATM is high.

Secondly, is it better to convert a lot of money here in Canada before I go, or take a small amount and withdraw more money from ATM’s in Europe?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hiya everyone, well im deciding on doing the London to Athens tour prob mid May 09 to end of June 09 on my own, and am a little concerned with the label “Budget” tour. Im not expecting flash places to stay, or restaurant meals ect… but have heard comments that the cabins are small, and the meals not as great as they are made out on the brochures that are offered in the food fund.
Im really excited about all the places the London to Athens tour visits and am wondering if i should upgrate to the Hotel tour BUT was concerned only COUPLES do this tour and im going to be doing this SOLO…..?!!! Also i cant decide if i should jst go from Rome to Athens and do greek island hopping??

sorry for all the questions?

Oh another, would i need a sleeping bag during those months, will the weather be warmer than NZ summer? Also we have cabins to sleep in aboard the ferry across to Athens – i think – ?

i believe that is all for now!!! please help im a big undecided as you no doubt can tell lol

I know a book is only like an extra pound(s) in the suitcase, but I don’t want to take something I won’t use. How many of you actually read on the long bus trips?
I’m not a book worm, by any means, but did most ppl read to kill time?
