Hi folks

I've just received my brochures today, and have browsed the website, and I'm still not sure.

My husband died last year, so I'm taking the first steps on my own. I booked two holidays with a rival company, and felt so let down. The holiday itself was fine, I got on well with the other guests, the host was great -- but the travel arrangements were shambolic to say the least.

I was one of the oldest on the holiday, but I'm fit, and that wasn't a problem.

I've cancelled the second holiday, and am now thinking of trying Just You. Bur a) most European holidays seem to be booked up, and I haven't the confidence for long-haul yet, and b) I'm scared.

Help!

Hello Skye It was my 1st time going on holiday with Just You i have been with other coach companys in england but ti wasn't a singles holiday but i mixed in so last year i was searching to see if they did singles holidays came across just you i just came back from germany Walking in the Ahr Valley which i made load of freinds everyone got on great nothing to complain about hotel staff food everything was excellent tour manager coach driver he mixed in with us so i cam back booked up for germany to go at christmas which i got £40.00 of my next hoiliday don't be scared probaly i will look at going on along haul flight next year go for it you have done 1st step by looking at just you al best gud luck

Hi Skye,

And welcome to JY. Oh dear, my heart goes out to you. I know what you must be feeling and am so sorry that your first holiday as a single was not all you hoped it would be. My first was with Just You (and I honestly cannot remember how I got to hear of JY) so I was lucky. I have not looked back since.

Ok -

a) don't be scared to do a long-haul first - there really is no need to worry. I have done Russia and China and both have been amazing. Your tour manager will take really good care of you and make sure you don't feel left out. It is so safe for women (which is really important) - men too I hasten to add.

b) don't be scared to take that first step - we have all done it - and never looked back. Don't let that one bad experience affect you. There are so many wonderful places for you to see. So pick something you really fancy and go for it!!!

I wish you a really wonderful holiday. I would be interested to know what you chose.

Be happy,

Best wishes,

Lesley :angel:

PS: I am off to Sorrento for my birthday in Sept (my 3rd JY trip this year)

Glad you've had the courage to book

I really hope it works, there are so many holidays in the brochure I'd love to do next year.

I'm also thinking of Christmas, how early do you have to book? Ideally I'd like to wait to see how I get on with this one first.
