hi all,
I’m thinking about getting a backpack (because of Contiki’s size restrictions) for my trip to Australia next month. The trip is 5 weeks (Aussie Explorer + a week). I’m a petite female (5’2) and am a little concerned about the weight on my small frame 
Any advice on what to get/where to get it? I live in New York, USA. Thanks guys!!

Hi,
I’m doing BnR in November and I’m flying to Aus from Hong Kong as I’m spending a few days there before my tour. The only flight I could get to Cairns is via Sydney and I have a 5 hour stopover in Sydney before my flight to Cairns.
Although I’ll be back in Sydney at the end of the tour 5 hours is a long time to kill in an airport waiting for just a short-hop flight. Would this length of a stopover be long enough to go and do something or see something in Sydney or is the airport very far away? Would I be better off just waiting in the airport for the 5 hours?
Any feedback would be appreciated!!

I am doing the greek island hopping and was wondering if I need to pack a towel for the beach. That would take up a lot of valuble space. Can I get one at the beach, or take one from the hotel, or should I make room for one in my suitcase?

i’m heading to europe in june and will be doing the european whirl between june 17 and july 4. after that i am hoping to follow as much of the tour de france as possible, not because i’m a mad keen cyclist i’d just like to experience the atmosphere. in particular i’m hoping to catch the start in london (july 7) and some of the mountain stages in the pyrenees (around july 22 to 25). at the moment i’ll be going solo, unless i meet up with people along the way that are keen.
just wondering if anyone has followed the tour before, or has plans to do so at some stage. i’m after any valuable info such as the best ways to get around and the best vantage points.
cheers,
tim

I’m doing the bus tour through London, and want to stop at a few spots (definitly Buckingham Palace and London tower)…I don’t want to overdo it money wise, so where else is a “must do” while in London?

Hey Guys,
Does anybody know if the New York TV and Movie Tour in the “Best of USA” trip, show the school and other locations filmed in the hit series: Gossip Girl?

Doing a Contiki solo isn’t the part the I’m most concerned with: It’s the full day that I’ll have to spend in a foreign city alone with my luggage! Most of the hotels have 2 pm check in times, but do they also have a place to check or stash your luggage until then?
Also, what would be best for a female tourist to do on her own before meeting the group? (If the advice you have is specific to Rome, that would be great!)

Hey guys,
I’ve been day dreaming bout doing a Contiki tour for a while now… The Aussie Explorer looks awesome, can anyone tell me about it? Is it worth it? Spending money? etc…Also I’m a bit concerned that everyone on Contiki is just about getting pissed and making out Is this the case? Cause I’m totally opposite that ! What type of people go? So many questions…thank u

I was curious to know if a lot of the Contiki travellers are travelling on their own? I’m 26 and this is my first time taking a trip out of the US and I’m a little nervous about being stranded..lol

Im planning to work in Canada through the 2010 winter season (end of this year)

Just wondering if we actually get to go into places rather than see the outside of the building or do we have to do that on “free time” such as driving past the the Eiffel Tower do we stop and go up to the lookout or wait 10 mins whilst people run out of the bus and get a few snaps with the tower in the background??
