What are the pros and cons of each? My fiance and I are planning to go sometime in the future (not sure on dates yet) and don’t know which option to choose. We are leaning toward the cruising seeing as there are more places to go to, however staying on Mykonos and relaxing sounds nice as well.
Help? Any suggestions are appreciated!

I’m leaving for European Discovery next week and I want to know where I can get the best exchange rates for my USD here in los angeles area. Anybody reading this from SoCal pleae help!
Also, I’m not familiar with the traveller’s cheques and how to use them. I plan on bringing just cash and credit cards. Any info can help me.
Lastly, for Euro Discovery, what other currencies do I need to exchange my USdollar for? Euros and Pounds for sure, but what else? I don’t want to go to one country and end up empty handed.
thanks guys!! will appreciate any help…

Hey everyone!! I am going on my first tour in September 08 so I have been reading the forums to get some advice. I noticed that some people prefer to bring debit cards than exchanging money into euros or pounds. I am from the United States and I’m thinking it might be more convienant for me to just use my debit card. Any thoughts or suggestions?

When touring the paris opera house, are you able to see all parts/storeys of the paris opera house? Does the tour allow you to go down below stage level to the other 7 existing storeys, including the lake which is famous for the Phantom of the Opera?

Hi there,
I’m planning to book and pay in full (to get 12 month earlybird discount).I’m about 99% on the correct date (dates not released yet for when I want to go, but know when I should be free during the time I’m looking to go)
Just wondering what will happen if I’ve paid in full and then have to change the date? Will I just have to pay the difference (if there is any?)
Thanks

I am going on the 21 day camping tour and would love to see Neuschwanstein castle. Is this a common sight for contiki travelers while in Munich? I understand its about an hour or 2 from Munich to Fussen (the closest train to the castle is in Fussen), so is this a doable trip??

I’ve decided to stick with either one country or a region during my first tour…I don’t like the idea of trying to understand and absorb Europe in a rush.
I’m torn—I don’t know whether to do Ireland, the UK, Spain, Italy, or Turkey! I’m 26, easy to get along with, and I enjoy drinking and casual sex, so Contiki sounds like the tour to go with…
but can anybody recommend something?

Hey,
OK maybe Im worrying a little too much but I am scheduled for a 845 am tour of the Vatican while I am on the European Discovery. I know in one of the travelouges it mentions that the TM took everyone to the Vatican in the morning by bus and 2 trains. They arrived later then I need to because I booked my own private tour.
I guess my questions is…Is it hard to get around Rome without my TM and is the transportaion I need open when I need to go?
Thanks

Hi guys 
Are WiFi hotspots generally quite common, widespread and reliable throughout Europe?
Am thinking about buying an iTouch as a device to keep me both entertained and informed during my Europe trip.
Thanks

Is anyone else going on this tour? I am a late twenties female from San Francisco. I never received any optional excursion info from Contiki and was wondering if there will be hiking or skiing options, so that I can pack the right clothing for the weather.

Hi, first time post here!
Has anyone done the London and Paris tour (8 or 10 days) I’d just like to know how their experience was on the tour and if you had enought time to see all you wanted!
Any feedback would help!

Hi Everyone,
I’m going to be booking tomorrow for the 18 day Europe tour for this spring. I’m not sure why, but I am pretty nervous about it. What if my luggage gets lost or flight delayed? What if I love Italy and can’t bear to leave, or what if I don’t have enough Euro Dollars, and what if I don’t meet new tour-mates? Will it be rushed in the pace of the trip? I guess I just need a little reassurance that it will be worth it. (Seems like so much money!) Can anyone offer any tips or words of wisdom? I guess I’m just looking to know from past travellers if it is as good as it’s cracked up to be. Thanks so much,
Melissa
