Anyone else online that is going? Had comms on other threads but either people who have been or on other dates.

Can't wait, but nervous as my 1st JY trip!

I'm booked on this trip in March.

It's my 2nd JY holiday, I went on USA National Parks and Canyons holiday in 2010 - I had a fantastic time and I'm sure this will be just as much fun. Like you, I was very nervous last time but I need not have worried, everyone was really nice and got on.

Trying to work out money, injections etc - bit more to organise beforehand for this trip. Not long to go, I can't wait!

YEs, I am getting organised, as was one of the last few to book, as was psyching self up for a while! I have my Yellow Fever jab next week and visa in process.

Can't believe how quick it will now come round 🙂 I am travelling from the midlands and doing the National Express from Birmingham Airport, not done before so hope works out okay, saves having a long drive when land back!

I got my visa through JY a couple of weeks ago, need to get the yellow fever injection sorted next week as well.

I'm travelling up from South Coast by National Express, trouble with going by car is parking is so expensive plus avoiding the driving on M25 in the rush hour is always a good idea! At least on the coach you can catch up on some sleep - a good thing for going home as we get back early moring.

I booked this ages ago so it's amazing that it's finally nearly here. I've never been on holiday at this time of year so it feels really strange :cool:

I have gone for the extension to have the opportunity to do the excursions and still get some time to relax. Have you booked the extension?

Not doing the extension, as no places available on that part, with being one of the last to book. Only thinking of doing a couple of trips while at Mombasa so can have best of both, will see though.

I like going away early or late, when our weather awful :dodgy

How does it work at airport please? Do we check in on own but have seats allocated together with the company, bot sure how we get toether at that point?

Not long now though :thumbup:

From what I have seen from others comments and looking at the Heathrow Airport Website there is no longer a lounge in Terminal 3 where we fly from. When I went to US we all met in the lounge so I'm guessing we will meet up at one of the cafe's or something in the departure area.

A JY rep met us at check-in on the first holiday I did and helped those who weren't sure what to do through, I'm hoping they will have some ideas on where is a good place to meet once we get through security and into the departure area. I will post a question about who our Tour Manager will be, maybe they can suggest somewhere good.

Does anyone else who has done this holiday have any good ideas of where would be a good place to meet at Heathrow?

I seem to recall seating was pre-booked when I went to the US but you could change it when checking in. We were all more or less sitting together on the plane so must have been a group booking. It may work differently with different airlines though.

If nothing else we could arrange to meet somewhere, happy to exchange e-mail addresses with you if you would like or we can sort something out through here.

Not long at all :thumbup:

As far as I know, the lounge at Terminal 3 is open for business - it's the one at Terminal 4 that closed last year.

Kind regards

Meant to say terminal 4 not 3 - just checked my paperwork and it confirmed we are flying from terminal 4!

My details say we depart from Terminal 4??

Olly - would you be able to pass mine and Cate's email addresses to us please, as she has confirmed okay too?...Thanks.

Yellow Fever jab tomorrow!

In that case you won't be able to use the lounge but as you say, there are plenty of other nice places to meet and get to know the group.

Kind regards

I have emailed you and Cate to put you in touch.

Good luck with the jab!

Kind regards
