I have an Iphone, Is it easier to just bring it or buy a sim card in Europe and use another phone. Using the Iphone is pretty expensive…..

I’m going on the California Highlights trip that leaves Vegas on the 25th of June! Anyone else going?
I’m going to be in Vegas the day before, however I’m only 19 (in the UK this seems to be old enough to do most things but apparently not in the US 
) So I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on what to do that doesn’t involve being 21? Also is this not being 21 thing going to effect my trip that much?
Cheers

I am going on the European Experience on May 2nd and I am only taking 700 Euros. After reading some of the other peoples questions and people said theyll need at least 100 Euros a day, that seems like alot! Does anyone think that ill survive off 700 Euros doing all the extras plus food money? Please HELP!!!

im going over to europe next june (maybe late may) for 2-3 months and am really keen on doing a contiki tour for the experience.. i want to travel all around western europe however my friend who im going with is not keen on contiki through italy, france, germany etc as we want to spend longer there and she thinks its a waste that u only spend 2 days in each place so she is more keen on busabout (anyone got opinions on that)
so anyway im thinking now maybe i do a contiki before travelling through western europe and do the great britain/ireland one.. has anyone done it? whats it like? im 21 and like to party! but is this like all the other contiki tours or are the people older
any advice would be much appreciated!

Hey folks, am hoping you can help (especially Aussies who may have done this)…I have read a lot on here about the famous Contiki cough, and how it helps to take vitamins. My question is, are you actually ALLOWED to take vitamins on international flights? I have echinacea, garlic & horseradish, and multis…but can I take them with me? Do they have to be in my checked bag, or can I take some with me to take in the air? I would love some advice, as I have contacted customs and they can’t help. I fly tomorrow morning – argh!!
Thanks!

Does anyone know if the rest of the UK is as expensive as England???
And this must sound extremely stupid (but i have to ask) the rest of the UK uses pounds as currency correct?

My name is David and I’m considering the Coast and Witsundays (reverse) tour for Sept 2, 2008. I am big on capturing the most memorable photos for a “once in a lifetime” experience. If I were to buy a disposible Kodak camera in Australia, is the film type the same as in the United States?

hi!
im very new to all this in that i’ve never travelled at all.
a mate and i are considering taking a tour through europe in winter (not sure which one)! most likley dec/jan! and will be a timeout tour so we dont have to worry about bringing sleeping bags etc.
we are both young guys (22) and everyone tells us to go during europes summer – they say its more fun! was wondering what the winter trips are like? are there still loads of young people there for a great time…we really want to have a big trip and party up!
or is winter more about sight seeing and taking it easy!
is anyone going at the end of this year with the same frame of mind
any comments would be appreciated!

just trying to decide whether everyone on Contiki is into partying?!?! I am 32 and single, but my beverage consumption days are over and I am not into the bar scene. Will I be out of place? Thinking of a trip to Italy in September. Thoughts?

Hello Everybody on this forum. Im actually new to this and i just throught i would post my first thread. Im 17 years old living in Melbourne, Australia. At the moment im completing my final year of school and hoping when i finish Year 12 i would like to travel, but the problem is though i just don’t know where to go.
I mean ive seen so many booklets on Contiki especially Europe and America and just not sure when to go and which one to do. I was thinking of maybe going on holiday at the end of this year if not maybe early 2008.
So what would be the start. Where is the best places to go and what tours are good.
Also i joined the forum to make many new friends and meet new people and also hopefully do a tour.
Regards,
Giancarlo.

Hey Guys,
I’m planning a Europe trip for a month around June next year and want to do the Greek Island Hopping. I have never been to Europe before and was wondering if I should do this as a contiki tour or possibly through busabout? I’m also doing the Euro Experience before I do the Greek Islands so I have roughly a week left. Also If I do the island hopping through busabout, for those who have already done this how many days would you recommend for each islands (Mykonos, Ios, Santorini and Paros) ??

Since it will be winter time…..was wondering if it is worth it to do the Explorer, which goes to Bay of Islands, or just do the Adventure & spend the two extra nights Auckland.
Thanks

I’m having trouble deciding which tour to choose. I like the contrasts as it goes to Prague, which is supposed to be amazing, although i’m worried that as there isn’t much discussion here about it, that it won’t be a popular tour. So i’d like to hear from people how they decided which tour to go on… money or Destination?
