Hello all

I'm pleased to announce that after an enthusiastic campaign by Community members, we have added a tour along America's famous Route 66 in our new brochure for 2012/13, with six dates available between April and October next year. Many thanks to all of you who got involved, and particularly Mick W for starting the thread.

So more choices for me yet again....LOL had a look on line and it does look good, lets hope it's around for a few years as 2012 is already sorted for me...Very glad that you listened to the people power and I hope it is a popular tour.

Hi Olly

I'm thinking of doing the Route 66 tour next October and I was wondering what meals are included and can you pay for the optional excursions before you leave?

Hi Paul

All your breakfasts are included plus a welcome dinner on day 1. In my experience American breakfasts are enormous, so you may find you only need one more meal each day!

I don't have any details yet on whether excursions are pre-bookable but we will send you more details around 15 weeks before you travel, so you will have plenty of time to make plans.

Kind regards,

Olly, your editor

Would really love to do this one Olly but sadly I am not allowed to have that amount of days off work in one go. Hope everyone enjoys that goes. Chicago as a start is a fantastic city. Great museums and the Shedd Aquarium is to die for

I'm lucky that my company will let me have the time off to go on this trip. There is a chance that a friend from work might be on the trip with me. If he does come then we might drive so I can't book just yet as I have to wait for him to decide. I've give him till next week then I shall book on here if he's not decided. Either way I shall be on Route 66 next year

Thanks Olly

To be honest I'm trying to get my friend to come with just you also as we both drive for a living and I personally would like to be driven on holiday to give me a rest.

Great timing for this to be included by JY especially as it's coincided with the Billy Connolly program on TV. Thanks, JY, it's on my 2013 list as like Cindy, 2012 is taken care of, curtesy of JY, of course. 🙂

Hi Paul

It sounds like you should definitely put your feet up and take a break from driving. It would be a shame if it detracted from seeing all the sights.

Kind regards

Hi thinking about this tour but new to JY.

Live in Inverness Scotland.

Would I be able to get a connecting flight from Inverness to Heathrow as part of package? Otherwise I would have to get a train to Aberdeen or Glasgow and then a flight from either of them to Heathrow. Does the book early £100 discount cover ALL the dates listed in your brochure?? Do you take care of visa etc??? Sorry about all the questions. NERVOUS ALREADY!!!!!

Hi Panda

First of all, it's natural to be nervous. It's a big step to take, but rest assured most of our customers feel the same way. But you'll be amazed by how quickly you relax once you meet the group.

I expect it will be possible to book a connecting flight. The best people to ask are our holiday advisors, who have all the latest prices and times. You can speak to them on 0844 567 8844.

The £100 discount applies to selected dates - so for Route 66 it covers the 16 April and 28 May dates.

You won't need a visa; we automatically complete your 'ESTA' application for you and add the cost to your invoice unless you prefer to do this yourself.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Kind regards

Hi I'm thinking to take the plunge for Route 66 next year, so you know if anyone else from Liverpool is going next year? Still a bit apprehensive as it will be my first single holiday :huh:

Hi Suzy

I don't have any info about who is flying from Liverpool but you may be able to get in touch with them here on the Community. Alternatively, look out for the Just You luggage tags at the airport.
