Glad you have come on the boards to join us, I don't know what your circumstances are but this is what I did. Like you I looked around on the internet I then requested the brochure and sat down with a cuppa, and the one that jumped out to me was Bos,New Eng,NY. This was 5 years ago before JY started there taster weekends or evening presentations, I know some people find these are worth while. There is nothing to worry about HONEST, I went long haul for my first tour and have never looked back I have now done 7 tours with New Zealand Booked for 2012.

So my final suggestion to you is. YOU book the holiday that appeals the most to you if that's long haul then go for it. Take a book to read if your ever lonely which you wont be I have only ever read 1 book on these holidays, and that was because it was to hot to do much else.. It is strange at first but people mix in really well from the start and you will visit some great countries and see fantastic things with a like minded group of people. I wish you well and I hope you go for it. Anything else I can help with just ask away. If I can't answer the questions I am sure someone else can ..

My advice is just go for the holiday you really fancy.

Hello Joan My 1st holiday this year was with JUST YOU to Germany Ahr Valley it was for 4 days it was a rambling holiday made nice freinds some of us are meeting up in November Reunion Saturday til Sunday Cheltenham also i have booked to go away at christmas differnt part of Germany which ever holiday you choose you will have no regrets & won't look back thinking you shudnt of gone you will probaly booking for next holiday enjoy :thumbup:

Welcome to Just You. It is a little bit of a dilema isn't it choosing what to do or where to go. Just You do a number of short City breaks and also some 5 day holidays which are all very good which are very handy, and can double up as a short break and a taster all in one, if you require a little reassurance before trying something further afield. You generally find, That as you turn each page in the brochure, then the trips become, more and more appealling. However if you would like to go straight for a long haul trip, then this will not be a problem. You will probably find that whatever trip you chose. A large number of your fellow travellers will be in a similar boat as yourself. You will also have the services of an experienced Tour Manager to assist you, Throughout your tour. So my tip is this. Have a look through the brochure, making sure you check the intinery too. . Whatever holiday suits you pick up the phone and make a booking. Good Luck & enjoy your trip

Dont give it another thought, just go for it. Going on a Just You holiday five years ago was one of the best things I ever did. It took me ages to pluck up the courage to book and I was so worried, I almost dropped out the night before I left. I am so glad I did not. My first holiday was Highlights of Tuscany. Everything was well organised, everyone was so friendly and the rep was great. She really took time to make sure everyone was happy and getting on together. Idid not have time to read a book or send postcards. Came back with contacts that i have met up with on other holidays since. So far have only been to Europe but am thinking about National Parks and Canyons for next year, maybe China the year after that!

I have not long returned from my first holiday with Just You. Couldn't fault them - they really look after you from the moment you book the holiday. I took a couple of months to pluck up the courage to book the holiday, then one evening, when I was feeling brave, I picked up the phone and made a booking on the Heart of Alpine Europe trip. I am so glad I did. I will definitely be booking with them again. I made some really good friends, a couple of which I am meeting up with next weekend. The holiday was brilliant, everyone on the trip was really friendly and the tour guide was really good. I did think about a Discovery Weekend, but decided on a European holiday instead. Two ladies on our tour did the Discovery Weekend in Leeds and they said they had a really good time. I am now considering doing the National Parks and Canyons with Just You next year. So just go for it - pick a holiday you like and pick up the phone - you won't regret it. Elaine
