It has taken me MONTHS to pluck up the courage to book my first solo holiday and now I have finally done it and jumped in the deep end !

Already feeling nervous for 20th October departure on the South African Explorer. I'll be taking a connecting flight from Manchester. Anyone else in the same boat? And any advice from previous trips, please?

I'm a bit scared but VERY EXCITED too. Joan.[/size]

Best wishes,

I've found your review and tips. Thanks for the info. - very helpful. Sounds like I won't have to try very hard to have a brilliant time. So looking forward to it.

Happy travels yourself.

Best Wishes, Joan.

I did this holiday last October and it was absolutely brilliant. You couldn't have made a better choice for your first JY holiday. Go prepared to take hundreds of photos and make some good friends too. I know you will have a wonderful and memorable time. :thumbup:

Thanks for your re-assuring post. I'm so excited (though a little nervous -but I guess that's most folk the first solo trip.) Hope you have / had another good trip this year.

Will let you know if it comes up to my expectations. Feel sure it will.

Best Wishes

Joan.
