Barney521 in regards to your question…”hey anyone no how hard it is to get alcohol n stuff in america if ur only 20?”
It is very difficult to get alcohol in America if you are under 21, especially if you are trying to get in bars or clubs…sorry for the bad info, but just bein honest

I am stationed in Iraq as a Combat Firefighter for the past 7 months and i am in need of a vacation! I am thinking about taking the “Best of Europe” tour on May 26th, is anyone else thinking of doing the same, or has anyone done this tour? I will probably be traveling alone on this trip, so looking to meet some people in advance

The Europe Camping trip (21 days) looks great. June would be a sublime time to go. Anyone know about the availability of any coarse fishing tackleshops in Paris, London, or Amsterdam? I hear carp fishing is even more popular in Europe than in the U.S.

A must do in Paris is to visit one of those Crepe stands. Nutella and Banana crepes....Mmmmmmmmmmm
Itter was one of the nicest town's I've ever been in, absolutely gorgeous. It's a sleepy town, but on Contiki you bring your own nightlife. This was one stop I wont forget.
I bought a high sierra duffel bag - it has a zip down panel on the back and you can pull out the back pack straps…I also have a laptop back pack…
