This is my first venture to singles holidays and I am very nervous about it,but determined to try.

Is there anyone out there that has been on one of the weekend trips and if so how did you find it. Was it friendly?

I thought this might be a good idea to find out what it is all about.

I am a mature lady, bereaved 21months ago. Always had someone by my side.:):)

My first venture with JY was on a discovery weekend last November and I went to Leeds with a day visit to York on the Saturday - it was a brilliant weekend and I met some really nice people and never felt as if I was on my own. You may never meet these people on a holiday again, but it certainly lets you know that you would never feel as if you didn't "have anyone by your side" - you would have as many or as few as you wanted. Since then, I have done Halkidiki and Canada with JY and had a great time on both holidays - so go for it and simply enjoy!

Take care

Annie

Hi Anita

I know how you feel I am a mature widow and I am going with JY for the first time. I have decided to go to Warwick for the new year as a taster then hopefully next year I will go further a field. Every one on JY sound so lovely and very reassuring and every one seems to have a great time. I am sure we will be fine be brave and give it a go. Annabella

and Welcome.

What Annie says is true - once you have taken the 'first step' you will open up a new world of lovely places to see and great people to meet. We have all 'been there' so know how daunting it can be but once we have conquered that initial fear/apprehension we have found that we really can have a good time.

We all travel with Just You for different reasons - some are divorced or separated, some have partners/spouses who don't like to travel and some are widowed, but we are all in the 'same boat' - the alternative is not to go anywhere. I know your situation (for me a little longer than you) so know what you must be going through.

I jumped in at the deep end and went away for Xmas for my first trip. I have never looked back. I now have friends from different trips I have done - in fact 2 from my very first trip. So you may have different ' people by your side' but that is good and you will have a lot of fun.

If you think a Discovery Weekend would suit you best, then go for it. If you like it then you may want to go somewhere else (like Annie) or there may be somewhere you have always fancied going but never got the chance - now you can - so go. It really is that easy you know.

Your tour manager will take really good care of you - it is safe - and you don't have to worry about anything. I hope I have allayed your fears. If there is anything you need to know, Olly will give you information and you can ask others on the Community if you are not sure.

Have a brilliant time (wherever you choose)

Be happy,

Best wishes,

Lesley :angel:

Welcome to you, my first trip was with JY 5 years ago to USA, in those day's they did not have discovery weekends etc, I just jumped in long haul and have not looked back. It is up to you if you would rather try a weekend then do so, as Annie say's she started like that and has done 2 tours since, I jumped straight in and have my 8th booked for 2012, If there is anything I can help you with just ask away OK.

I've literally just taken a step I've been considering for a few weeks.

I wouldn't say I'm nervous about meeting people being an ex regular serviceman but I'm new to meeting people on my own. I've always had my soul mate with me but am now having to face the world in a new way.

I am considering a Discovery Break in the new year and would appreciate tips etc.

Welcome to the Just You community. Everyone is apprehensive on their trip. It is only naturally really, but rest assured that once you are all together, usually at dinner on the first night, it will not be long before you are chatting to your companions like long lost friends.

Your experienced Tour Manager will keep everyone involved in the activities throughout the weekend. I guarantee that when it is time to say your goodbyes you will wonder what the fuss about.

Go and enjoy your weekend and you will soon be looking to book another holiday.

Best wishes

Hi Anita, I`ve Just been on a Discovery Weekend to Bournemouth, everyone was very friendly (about 35 in total, ages between about 40 to 80 and mainly women). The Tour Manager was excellent, generally a very enjoyable weekend, I will certainly think of travelling again with Just You.

I`ve been widowed for 4 years and probably should have taken the plunge long ago.

Regards

hi Anita

I am in a similar position to you having been bereaved 11 months ago, I kept looking at the holiday to australia and finally bit the bullet and booked it. I am now extremley nervous but deternined to do it. Hope you find something you like also.

Joy

I just went for it a couple of years ago and booked a trip to China, it was the best thing I had ever done, since then I've been to Kenya and Egypt. I'm still in contact with some of the people who I met in China and I met up with them a few times this year

All the people are very friendly and you don't feel alone. The tour guides are brilliant and look after you very well.

Hope you have as good time as I do with JY.
