Hi guys,
Just in the processes of booking a trip with contiki next year and on the way back were staying in Phuket for 5 nights. 2 Travel agents have suggested fly Thai airways coz it’s cheaper. But i would rather fly singapore airlines coz there awesome. But it is going to cost alot more to flight Sinapore airlines.
My question is; are Thai airways any good?
I’ve heard some mix reviews, just wondering what your thoughts are?
Thanks

Sooooo, I keep hearing about the crazy stuff in Amsterdam, the cafe’s the red light district, the drag queens all that stuff…so being that I’m a picture obsessed, I know I’m gonna want to snap pics left and right….I don’t wanna piss of the people though……how do they all feel about pics being taken?

Has anyone been to any contiki tours that stop at the Best Western. Me and a friend are going the LA to Bay tour and my friend is really worried about the cock roaches, the mould in the bathroom, the prostitutes that hang around outside and the needles on the side of the bed.
Can anyone relive his fears? or would a stay at the MGM next door be more appropriate?

Hiya folks
I was wondering if anyone has had any success with putting photos on the web, like an online travel journal or photo site, from an internet cafe in europe?
I’ll be taking a usb cable to attach my camera to the computer if it’s possible. I already know that the computer doesn’t need any special drivers or anything, I’ve tried a few and computers only detect the camera as a usb device.

Hi everyone
So… I know this topic has been discussed a million times over but this is a bit more specific.
Last new years I went to New York and i bought a 3/4 length poofy jacket from Myers (i live in Aus)
But I also have a rainproof/windproof jacket made of gortex from Kathmandu (cost an arm and a leg!!)
So my question is people who have been to Europe, i know that thermals n stuff is the stuff to wear, but my question is what jacket would i be better off taking?
the jacket from Myer whilst it is 3/4 length isnt water proof? And coz its poofy I think it takes up alot of room in my bag? So im leaning towards the goretex jacket, but not sure if it will be warm enough?
I dont want to get over there and find out that im freezing my butt off. so any suggestions are appreciated
Cheers, Katie

Ok shoot me if this is a stupid question but its something ive been thinking about. I will be a solo traveller. A clueless one at that. And im thinking, who on earth takes your photo?? Are ppl too fussed at doing this for you? The last thing i would want to do is pi** people off by bugging them to take my pic every 5 mins (or more often) Do your guides offer? Photos are really important to me, and its even more important that im in them so i have somthing to show my kids/grandkids one day in the distant future.

On the European Discovery trip how many people usually take the transfer to London and how many others choose to leave from France?

I’m off on the Aussie Explorer in september and although i know it sounds like a mad question, i was wondering what the situation was with towels? Do We need to take our own for everyday washing or do the hostels/hotels provide such things?

Hi, I’m a new comer. I’m planning to spend at least one month in Europe to have a full tour. Do you know someone who work as tour guide in Europe, esp. in Finland, Luxembourg and Ukraine?
Or do you have some suggestions?

Is anyone here going on this tour? Two other friends and I were going to go but then the other two bailed out at the last minute. I decided that I still wanted to go so I will be going alone. If anyone on here is going please reply.

Hi All,
I have read that the 2008 dates should be up around October 07. Is this correct? A travel agent I have been in contact with has emailed me saying she has early bird dates, but these aren’t listed on the website yet. Should I wait til the dates are officially up on the web?
Im new to all this, and will be travelling in Aug next year (Grand Sthrn & Grand Northern- back to back)
Thanks :-)

I really want to do one of the London/Paris tours. But I hear that Contiki is better for drinkers and party goers. Although I do like a drink or two every now and then… I was planning to do this trip alone so wasn’t sure if I’d fit in. Thoughts? Suggestions for other tour groups? Thank you

Hi, we are a married couple in our late 20s/early 30s, and I was wondering if we would feel a bit weird going on a Contiki tour?? We don’t want to go out and party/drink, and we are probably older than most on the tour, but some of the tours sound so good!
Any advice?
