Hi Sue,

Do you mean 2nd march? if so, then yes I am booked on it and I can't wait although a bit apprehensive even at my age! What part of the country are you from?

Hi Sue,

I am booked on the February 2nd Pyramids and Nile Cruise - looking forward to it - this will be my first time to anywhere outside Europe or the States.

I am travelling down from Cheshire to Heathrow on the 1st - I just hope the weather is OK

Hi Colin

I think the weather in February should be about 68degreees, hopefully not too hot. Have you been on one of these holidays before?

Hi Sue,

this will be the first time I have been outside Europe or the US. It will also be my first singles holiday going with a group so it will be a completely new experience for me.

I lost my wife almost a year ago. I spent the last year either going on holiday alone or with my son and daughter-in-law - he lives in Philadelphia, so I have been there , and we met up in Paris when they came to Europe, and we went to Albuquerque for the balloon fiesta.

In addition I have been to Tenerife, Corfu, Amsterdam and Bilbao alone - it has been OK, it is just that I feel I would like some company. I am going to the holiday introduction weekend in Peterborough this coming weekend , and I have booked for the New Year in Cheltenham. I am looking forward to it.

Hi Sue,

I haven't been on a just you holiday yet BUT I am off to the Italian dolomites & croatia with them for Christmas & the New Year, so hopefully all will go well as I just decided to book the two holidays at the same time. Christmas will be my first holiday abroad, my first christmas alone, my first holiday with just you and my first holiday in a LONG time so I am really nervous but also quite excited.

Anyway have fun in Egypt in February & take Care

Hi Sue,

http://www.wingsegypt.com/en/cruises/tulip/3nights.asp.htm 

The Aswan to Luxor section is only 3 nights - must be faster down stream but the letter says Aswan on day 3 and Luxor on day 7 - 4 days - odd ?

My schedule has days 1 & 2 Cairo + day 3 - 4 nights cruise , then 1 night in Cairo

The letter says day 3 which is the 4th Feb - Thursday - but the cruise is Friday to Monday

The Peterborough weekend was fantastic ! Every one was great , very friendly and we all enjoyed it. There was just over 50 of us there - I think there was about 10 men , good age range - but everyone was young at heart !

Hi Colin

I'm glad the Peterborough weekend was good, I've got to confess this all feels a bit scary, I've never holidayed alone before but am really looking forward to it and as you have said everyone at the weekend was very nice. So roll on February!

Sue
