I've just registered and thought I'd say hello.

I'm going on the Golden West holiday in November and it would be great to hear from anyone who is going or if any advice can be offered for the trip.

Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to JU. I am going on my first trip on the 19th September on the same holiday. Our trip is fully booked so it looks like a great time.

I suggest you look at the threads Americas Golden West 19.9.11. Might be of help.

Regards

Edna :)

Thanks Edna, I'll take a look.

I've never been to the west coast and I'm really looking forward to it.

Hi

I went on this holiday in July. My first JY trip. It was amazing, I loved it all. There were 27 of us and all got on really well. I would do the trip again sometime. Enjoy your holiday it should be a little cooler than when I went, hopefully.

Hi Jennifer Mary,

I am looking forward to it and have just pre-booked the Rat Pack show in Vegas as I'm not really a gambling man and may get tired of the casinos.

I imagine Vegas can get cold at night so I'm thinking a heavyish coat for the suitcase.

Anyone doing the helicopter ride at the Grand Canyon?

See you there Julie. It will be nice to meet you.

Time is going quick isn't it? Does anyone know about United Airlines? I've never flown with them before. Virgin Atlantic were good when I went to the East coast, do they compare?

Does anyone know how many are booked up for this trip and the split?

Thanks Liz. This holiday does seem to be highly recommended despite the concentrated itinerary.

Hi,

I'm just back from the 19th September trip to 'America's Golden West.'

A holiday of a lifetime.

Well it is a very tiring but well worth it. Great fellow travellers. Great hotels, great tour manager. Fab time in San Francisco. Make sure you go on the cable cars - a must. Weather was great. 103 degrees at the Grand Canyon. Took a jacket but never had to use it. Vegas was brilliant.

Make sure if you are going to the Grand Canyon excursion that you pick the correct one. Only on the dearer one you get an helicopter trip down the canyon, otherwise its only a bus trip to the top of the canyon, Not the same.

I am sure you will have a great time.

Hi Tracy.

You could get to Heathrow by underground from St John's Wood I think so It shouldn't be too difficult, only four weeks to go now!

I just called up to see what the numbers are: 19 apparently with couples and a group which didn't sound correct to me as there seem to be single travellers here.

It's my first Just You holiday too Tracy so we can be nervous together 🙂.

My name's Koulis by the way.

See you soon.

Hi I'm on this one too. I'm travelling from Newcastle - anyone else got a connecting flight?

It's a lot of firsts for me this one ,first time on my own, first time with just you, and first time to America - I'm sooo excited!

I'm especially looking forward to San Francisco and the grand canyon.

Hi Khoulis, wow only 12 days to go, that number they gave you can't be right because we are all single travellers.

Anyway do you have any idea of the excursions your doing?

I want to try a helicopter flight but am terrified, but i supposed this is a new experience so why not try some more new things?

take care and see you very soon :thumbup:

Hi Sarah,

Looks Like there are a number of us as first timers with Just You.

I think you'll love America, the people are friendly and there's a lot to see. It's my first time on the west coast but I'm sure it will be great. See you in 11 days time.
