I agree Jonah. Although I do two or more long hauls a year, I also like to take the odd break. I am doing Monet's Garden in a few weeks. I would like slightly longer breaks, measured in "nights" rather than more misleading days as is common practice for most tour operators. Returning to the original thread, I would certainly be in tested in gong to the Isle of Man, but for a bit longer than the current tour, could some extra free time be added?

Monet's Garden was my first JY holiday and I loved it - hope you enjoy.

I agree with all you have said and I think it is a strength of JY that they offer such a variety of holidays to suit all budgets and needs - I hope this never changes. The long haul tours are getting very expensive though!
Best wishes,

Hi Bob

Nice to see you agree with me for a change!!. Have a great time in Nuneaton.

I do get where members are coming from with the desire for far flung holidays but it isn't for everyone. Shorter holidays near to home are needed for first timers, those on a low budget and people who are unable to take more than a week or two at most at one time. I hope JY doesn't price itself out of the market for many singles who are not blessed with well paid jobs but want to be able to travel without the need to 'phone a friend'

I too agree with Sally regarding safaris/'Big Animal' holidays. I did South Africa with Zambia add-on in 2013 and it was fantastic. Both Kruger in SA and Chobe in Zambia were wonderful and have left me with lots of enthusiasm to see more big game & wildlife. The Tanzania holiday in the other brochure looks just right. Hopefully JY will take note of all the comments being made. I don't think there will be much problem filling the places.

I am going on this holiday on 7th May. The Isle of Man is somewhere I have always wanted to go and it looks beautiful in travel programmes. I also like trying out public transport in this country and others - travelling by train in Australia was amazing. One big let down and I feel a bit cheated - it is listed as a 5 day holiday but on day 1 we don't leave Liverpool until 7pm and arrive in Douglas at 10 pm - hardly counts as a days holiday!! and no dinner provided.

Hi I'm feeling guilty for hijacking this thread, but I agree completely with Sally - for me a Tanzania safari (Serengeti and Ngorongoro) with a few days to relax and a bit of sight seeing on Zanzibar would be perfect! And as for a sunrise balloon ride, wow!!

Now back to the Isle of Man, we stayed near Laxey and it is a lovely spot, central for all the island's delights.

Best wishes,

Bob

Sorry to hijack this thread but I'm with Cindy and Hils with the safari thing. I understand that you want to make the holidays as varied as possible, but for me the African holidays have too much sight seeing and not enough game drives. Of course this hasn't put me off from going on them and having the most incredible experiences but the ideal for me is a trip along the lines of one of your competitors to Tanzania which was (approximately) 8 days doing game drives each day, followed by 4 days on Zanzibar relaxing on the beach to get over all those early starts. And not wishing to upset Bob, but that holiday also features a sunrise balloon ride over the Serengeti! If JY could do something along those lines it would be fantastic. Of course as Hils says there is also Botswana which would be a dream destination for safari fans.

Thanks for that information. It's what I would like to have been available from JY. The same applies to the Jersey tour from Poole. It's relatively easy to search for information about airports online, but information about ports is more difficult to find. If you are travelling from a distance, it's important to know departure and return times before you book, so you can work out the best and hopefully, least expensive travel options.
