Hi Gary, I'm travelling from Newcastle too on 13th. I normally go on holiday on my own or with my family, but thought I'd try something dedicated to going solo. I'm more nervous about going with JY than when I've jetted off alone?? I was going to do West Coast of America but thought I'd try Europe first & see how it goes travelling with like-minded people. Looks like it should be a good week with a few 50th birthdays to celebrate too. See you at the airport. Julie
