Just booked my first JY holiday, hopefully to leave UK winter behind and enjoy some summer sunshine 'down under' for a couple of weeks.

Am I the first or has anyone else booked, or is planning to book, for this trip?

Any tips or advice from previous travellers would be gratefully accepted.

Hi Tina

I have been sitting on the fence for some weeks now deliberating as to whether to go for this hoilday! My family think it crazy of me to go off for all but three weeks, but I promised myself some years ago, that I would visit NZ.Will this be your first visit? Good for you for taking the plunge whilst I sit here dithering! By the time I make my mind up, the trip will be full!

Regards,BevL

Hello Bev

Thank you for your message. It will be my first trip to NZ, a country I've wanted to visit for many years. My only concern is that it is ONLY three weeks as it's such a long way to travel.

Having been widowed for four years, I've come to accept that if I don't get out there and do the things I've always dreamed of, they're just never going to happen. My biggest fear in life is waking up one day with that "if only" feeling.

If it's of any help in your decision making, just ask yourself, if it doesn't turn out to be a wonderful experience, what will it matter in a year's time? You'll still have gained the experience and will know that you don't want to repeat it - but I suspect that you'll be itching to spread your wings again soon after!

Kind regards

TinaH
