Hi there,

Im Maree and i would like to know if theres anyone out there going on grand tour of britain and ireland on 10th august. if so i would love to hear from you. I come from Newcastle, NSW Australia.

Hi Maree ~ Welcome to the BB

I wish I was going with you, but we will be on this tour at this time next year. I will be very interested to hear all about it when you come back.

We have several BBers from Newcastle & they are just lovely people, so it is nice to have another Novocastrian to join us. You can add where you are from if you go into your profile, so it will be added as 'location' to the bottom of each of your posts. It is a great help to us when answering questions to know what temps etc. that you are accustomed to.

Any questions or concerns please ask as there are plenty of us here to help you.

I miss you by one week; I'm on the 17th August departure! Shame, I was hoping to "meet" someone on here who's doing my tour. Oh well.

Not long for us now! Especially you.

Hello Maree, My husband Ray and I from Mandurah W.A are joining up with my cousin John and his wife Janice from Liverpool NSW in Singapore to go on your tour. It was a last minute decision by all of us to go. We only booked 5 weeks ago!! We both leave Wed 6th Aug for a stopover in Singapore to break the journey. We look forward to meeting you in London and becomming friends. You can see by my "name" I love Pelicans!! What to pack is a challenge!!

Hi there,
Its great to get a response from someone going on the tour. That was lucky getting on the tour only 5 weeks ago. Wow! Its going to be very exciting. Looking forward to meeting you all in London. I am staying a couple nights in London before the tour. And yes, packing is a challenge, i have to agree. See you all on the tour.

Hi Maree glad to hear back from you. I feel a bit of a nut, must be all the stress of getting everything in ship-shape order before we go on our trip. I have double checked our booking and our 20 day Grand Britain tour leaves on Sat 9th,a day before your departure. I'm disapointed now that we won't meet after all. I hope you have a wonderful time and meet many new friends & you have good weather, Bon Voyage
