Hi folks

I'm new and almost certainly out of my depth. Just a general equiry about the age range, i'm 46 years young and wonder if there were. say three age brackets, which i'd be in?

Any responses would be well appreciated

Hi, i have been on 2 holidays with just you, and am due to go on my 3rd

in May. I would says the 3 age groups would be under 50's, 50's-60's

and then 70 and over. Hope this helps you. Saying that most people I would put in the last 2 ranges. But age is just a number, everyone seems to mix in very well with each other. So it does not matter what age you are just go for it.

Hi

As Julie has said most people are in 55-65 age range, I am 52 started useing JY 4 years ago. I have been the youngest on a tour but am not always the youngest. Last tour I went on there were 2 people younger than me and the age then went up to early 80's..

You are all in the group mix together, you are not on a holiday with just your age range, like some other tour groups do..

Hi,

I have been on 9 Just You hoildays so far and I find the majority of people are in the 50 to 60 plus age,there are a few that are younger,but sometimes Im the youngest (Im 36).I find on most hoildays theres a few younger ones (20s to 40s) majority 50,60 plus and some older ones at 80 plus.

I find the ages dont matter though as we all get on and have our hoildays in common.

Also if you mean bracketts as in going with a certain age group,Just You dont do this,you will be on a hoilday with a mix of age ranges.

Also more females to males on these trips,but once again,this is fine also.

Any more questons,just ask :-)

I've done two trips with JY with my 3rd booked.

The age ranges on the two trips I've done have been between late 20's to 70's with the ladies outnumbering the men. I'll add that men seem to be between mid 40's to 70's while the ladies that seem to have the wider age spread. Everyone seems to get on well and age doesn't seem important though.

Im 33 and im going on my 5th JY holiday this year, I find age ranges are quite mixed. They go from late 20's up to 70's, most important thing is just to go and have a good time, you always end up meeting people and getting along with them so I wouldnt worry to much about age.

sounds great, It sounds exactly what i'm I think I'll start with a short one first, maybe a week, lucky enough to have a lot of time on my hands at the minute and i know that won't continue. If anyone has any suggestions as to my first destination it would be great. Once again i really appreciate these replies folks

PICK a holiday that interests you, there are so many to choose from I know it is hard...

I have been to Poland, Austria, USA x 3 tours, Kenya Safari, and got Tuscany booked.. they have all been great fun and such sights to see. The USA tours are very fast moving not a lot of relaxing time. Just read up on what the brochure or online states about what you will be doing. I like to see as much and do as much as I can, I can always relax when I get back home!!!!. I have seen sights and things I never thought I would see, even done a Helo ride over Satue of Liberty.. so GO FOR IT!

Hi Stevenoso.

My first trip was Rome for 5 days in Nov 2005.Italy is great,I will be going back in September,(8 days)and nice weather too hopefully,great for cities,but if your a beach person I suggest Spain,as a week or so trip.

Another if you like cities is Prague,Vienna and Budapest for 8 days.

My best trip out of all Ive done so far is The Wonder of China for 10 days..a fantastic trip,but tiring,with a great mix of cities and countryside landscapes.

Hi Steven,

I have been on two JY holidays both very different. The age ranges and mix were similar on both breaks. I have now reached the big 40, but to be honest i find the age range irrelevant.

On my first break I was regularly the first to depart the bar and go to bed, leaving the stamina filled mature members of the group behind!

I did feel a real lightweight at times, however the company was great Whatever break you go on you will meet some interesting characters.

As for destinations I went to lake maggiore the first year, and lake garda last year. This year I am contemplating Sorrento or Tuscany still unsure.

If you notice a slight theme you'd be right, having been lucky enough to travel to alot of other places in my life. I now just pick a place usually based on trips that are on the tour to places i fancy going too.

I like the way JY organise the trips and memories of being on a gondola in Venice on a sunny september day are still very fresh in my mind.

Happy Holidays

Sallie

Well Thanks to all I'm much more informed now than a week ago. I'll list all the places I'm interested in then see where the mood takes me. I live in Northern Ireland I would assume that these holidays originate from mainland airports?.
