Hi Laura
And welcome to the world of JY travelling, I have not been on this tour, but over the years Ihave done approx 12 tours travelling as near as Tuscany and as far as New Zealand....I am sure you will have a great time, the ladies normally out number the men. Every one mixes in. I am sure you will get to know people ASAP, and see great things along the way and have a laugh.
Put your luggage label on your hand luggage so people can see them, it’s a great way of spotting a fellow traveller.
Go with an open mind and just go with the flow..
Depending on how EARLY ! The flight is some people book into a hotel near the airport the day before so they can get a few hours sleep.
Have fun
Cindy
