Hi there guys, maybe someone out there may be able to help…
As I run a small online business, I need to keep in touch with my emails and so forth more regularly than stopping in at a net cafe, on the 20 day Contiki I am doing in a couple of weeks. Plan to do so on by checking my mail on my Iphone.
I know they’ll whack me for a huge amount if I was to access this via my NZ mobile connection on roaming, can anyone recommend the best europe provider and how to get a sim card which will let me do this? I saw that Contiki have those Sim cards available, but they don’t say what the data charges are, or if would even work?

Hi there,
I am 27yo from Australia and am going on a LA to the Bay tour from 27/12/06 – 5/1/07, then spending 4 days in San Francisco, then 3 Days in New York, then 4 days in LA. if anyone is travelling around that time in similar circles I would be interested to know and possible travel a bit together.
Anyway, you can drop me an email if this sounds similar to what you might be doing.

Hi
I’m thinking of doing a tour later this year, either the WW or LA to the Bay.
On the tour highlights for LA to the Bay it lists a whole bunch of San Francisco tour stuff… how much time do you actually spend in San Francisco on the LA to the Bay tour?
I noticed that the WW gives 2 full days in San Fran. Is 2 days enough to see a decent amount of the city or would I be better off doing LA to the Bay and then staying on in San Fran when the tour ends for 5 days or so?
Thanks!

Hey guys,
I’m going on the 25 day escapade, just wondering if it’s better to take a suitcase or a travel pack?
Cheers,

Im sure the answer to this is already somewhere on this board, but I can’t seem to find it…I know they weigh the luggage i think in london (im going on london/paris/rome) and that is the only time they weigh it? like if i buy things on the trip to make it more than the 44 lbs., that is ok? please someone clear this up, thanks

I don’t know if this is a question or just venting, but I am scared to death about making it from the airport to the Hermes Hotel in Athens alone.
Does anyone have any pointers for a first time traveler?

Hi I am looking at the Grand Southern Tour but I am wondering if anybody knew about other tour companies that have similar roadtrip type tours so I can see what else is out there?

Hi
I’m sure this question has already been posted several times before but I just wanted to double check.
I’m doing a european winter superior/timeout tour in December and my documents state that I should pack a towel. Staying in hotels the whole way I would have throught that towels would have been supplied. Is this the case or do I actually need to pack a towel too?
Thx!

Hi Ladies,
I really need advice on packing. What do you suggest for everyday clothing? What about the Space Electronic Disco? Moulin Rouge? Help!! All/any advice is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you so much.

Okay so quick question, you have to bring a seperate bag for out and about all day right? you don’t have to like carry your luggage around all day with you, does it stay on the bus then?

I’m graduating from University this coming spring, and I’m looking to do a 2-2.5 month European trip over the summer of 2010. A Contiki may, or may not be a part of my trip. I’m trying to figure out whether a Contiki is for me or not. I know this forum might be a little Contiki-Bias, but I’m looking for as much info i can get!
Should I start with a solid 10-13 day Contiki before taking off on my own, or should I just go for it and start the whole thing off with nothing but a backpack, trainpass and a couple hostel bookings?!
I’m planning on using the Contiki as a starting point, getting my feet wet in the whole scene before taking off on my own. Has anyone else done this? Is it worth it? I’m kind of worried about how organized Contikis seem. Are most days planned out from start to finish?
All in all, my Contiki would end up being the first 10 or so days of my 2 month long trip trip, from people who have done this before, did the Contiki give you anything different then people you met, who just went straight to it? I’m still in the beginning stages of my planning, let me know what you think!
Alex.

Hi All,
Have been trying to find reviews on this tour, but haven’t found much in the Reviews section. Just wondering if anyone has gone on this tour and what are your thoughts on it? Is it worth doing?
