I wasn't sure if I should be talking about a Travelsphere trip on the JY site but it's nice to get the feedback from like minded solos. I will use JY again (possibly Jordan next, I did Uzbekistan in Sept) but sometimes you need other options i.e. Travelsphere.
Bob I too have my eye on Indonesia but also the Jewels of Indochina as I've still to do Cambodia & Vietnam and would like to include Laos.
Jenny, many thanks for your great report. I was absolutely delighted to hear from you. You have confirmed all the things I was trying to convince myself of. It's just a pity the dates in Feb/Mar sold out only 10 days after this tour caught my eye. If dates become available again whether 2013 or 2014, I'm going to go for it, no hesitation. You have totally reassured me.
One thing that worries me a little travelling alone (but would not deter me) is the flight via Delhi. Jenny, did you change planes or was it just a re-fuel? I struggled to find my way from T5 to T4 at Heathrow a couple of months back!!
