I signed up for the Australian Highlights (and New Zealand add on) trip yesterday (departing 4th November).  I'll be the aged Scotsman on the tour but not, you'll be glad to know, in a kilt!!

I travelled on the Just You USA Music Cities trip in October 2022.  It was not only my first time travelling on a mature singles holiday (I was widowed in 2018) but also the first time I had been on an organised group tour.  While I was not worried about the holiday I was intrigued to know how I would responde to the group experience.

I have to say that the tour was a tremendous success and that the Just You organisation and support was excellent.  In particular the Tour Guide was first class - well informed, supportive and very professional in all aspects of her duties.  I have recommended this trip - and Just You - to many people since and the company has won a few customers on the back of these recommendations.

As many people comment, a significant element in these tours is the character of those people travelling.  I'm sure that the group members going to Australia will be like those on my Music Cities tour - keen to interact with others and enthusiatic about the sights and sounds as we travel around on our hoiliday.

Look forward to meeting you in a few months time at Heathrow 

I'm sure we'll have a great group of people - can't wait to meet you all!

thank you for replying to my post i am looking forward to meeting you all. Lisa this is only my second trip. I was so nervous on my first trip I did the best of the west coast USA 18 day trip in September 2023.. i met so many amazing people but was quite familiar with most places we visited which was a little reassuring. So this one will still feel like my first trip.. everything will be new. I get lost easily and get very anxious so the airport experience and until I meet others can be quite daunting but I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing the experience. Happy to meet you at check in lisa just look for my pink tag. If not the departure lounge is included and a lot of people meet up in there before the flight. Bob enjoy the New Zealand add on. I also work so couldn't get that much time off together however I feel very fortunate as I've booked it with the Cook Islands add on for next November (2025). 

I'm going on the Australia highlights with NZ add on in November. I'm just introducing myself.

This is my first time on here.

I am also just wondering what people are doing about money? I think I'm going to take just a small amount of cash then the rest on card as I didn't want to carry a large amount of cash around.. 🤔

 I would have taken only a little cash but if it seems if you want a helicopter ride you have to pay in cash. I suppose you could get the cash out of an ATM when you get there.

Are you booking any optional tours beforehand?

Looking forward to meeting everyone going to Australia in November 2024.

Rob
