I’ve seen one or two pictures of hotel rooms contikis have stayed in during their European travels – they look VERY different from most American hotels. A few hopefully-not-too-stupid questions:
Do most of the hotel rooms have a clock / alarm clock?
How about a/c?
Iron and ironing board?
I plan to do some wash in the bathroom sink every few days – do the bathrooms have shower bars I can drape clothes on to dry?
Thanks for your help!

Has anyone travelled to both countries doing two tours? (Europe & Australia)
I was thinking of either doing the winter wanderer or the Aussie explorer or mixing and matching two tours traveling to Europe and either Australia or New Zealand for the second part of a tour.
Anyone have any advice on what to do? Thinking of traveling in Jan 07.
Thanks

Hey,
I’m going traveling for approx 4 months and I’m a nurse so I am having trouble cutting down the size of my first aid kit. … The “just incase” exucse keeps coming in with most things. What have most people taken os when going for extended times?
I even bought myself a ‘basic first aid kit’ to see what is “basic” but couldn’t help but add more things to it!
Any suggestions?
Thanks. Mel

The prices on the website for Australia are more expensive than what I just paid. For example, I paid $1400 for Bridge to Reef trip instead of $1800 (without quad-share or former traveler discount). It seems like these changes are recently in the new brochure. I wonder when the website will change its info . . .

Going on the European Whirl August 11th-28th, 2008. We arrive in the morning of August 8th. Hopefully I can get some sleep crossing the Atlantic. Regardless, are there any suggestions of must-do things in London? I’ve always wanted to go there, but we’re limited with only a few days. There are the obvious suggestions, but I’m really looking at obscure things to do. All suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Hi
Has anyone done the spanish spree trip in the winter? How was it? I’ve decided to go in feb. and I will be travelling by myself. I’ve been to europoe lots and even lived there for a bit but have never been to Spain. I think the winter itinerary is different and if anyone has tips on how to pack for the weather that would be great!
Thanks

What is the best type of clothing to bring, I know people say to bring tops that can mix and match with bottoms,because of the weight restriction. Did you ever wear the same top twice? And what about dressy clothing and shoes for the nights out?10th May 2012
I would like to do the GRAND SOUTHERN leaving 5 July 2008, but I’m not allowed to go when I’m the only one from Belgium in the group. Because we have to go on our own to LA I’m looking for someone who does the same trip so we can maybe book the same flight.

Hi there. I just picked up my intinerary and travel documentation from contiki for my Euro Escapade tour departing Sept 13. i was reading my documentation and it said for my tour, i will be needing to bring a sleeping bag and a day bag for the overnight stops?
my travel agent told me that i didn’t have to bring a sleeping bag.
also, the day bag, i thought the bus would drive us to our hotel, unload our suitcases and we’d bring them to the hotel room and use them, as suppose to me taking out clothes i think i will wear, plus toiletries and carry them in a bag seperate from the bag i’ll carry with me throughout the day to keep my documents in and maybe a water bottle and a pack of gum
i’m a bit confuded. right now, i’m seeing it as me bringing 1. my suitase 2. my carry on bag 2. a sleeping bag 4. a day bag for overnight stops and 5. my water and pack of gum bag.
please tell me i’m wrong as this is A LOT to be carrying. i’m trying to travel light
Thanks!
