Hi, I have been widowed for nearly two years, I am 53 years old and still not plucked up courage to go on holiday alone. Just wondered if anyone was thinking of booking Halkidiki in 2013 or if anyone has been on this trip before and can tell me about it. Many thanks

Hi Lavender.

Hope you have booked a holiday by now. I do understand how you feel. I took my first holiday with Just You in 2009 and went to Rome for 5 days as a "tester". I've not looked back since !! You will be well looked after by your Just You tour manager wherever you go. Been to China in 2010 and Cuba in April 2012. Am now looking forward to the longest holiday I have ever taken - going to Singapore and Australia on Oct 5th 2012. Cant wait !!! Have also probably just broken the bank and have booked Vietnam & Cambodia add on in March 20th 2013. Hope you do pluck up courage to book your. All the holidays that I have been on I have meet up with a lovely bunch of people.

Best wishes

Maggie

Hi Lavender

I would thoroughly recommend the discovery weekends to dip your toe in the water - although, having said that I've been on two discovery weekends and wished they'd been a week long! I'm now going on my first JY holiday on Monday and, having booked it a year ago after my first discovery weekend I cannot wait!

It's an instant ice-breaker that everyone is in the same boat - so all turn up as nervous singletons and within minutes everyone is chatting away and leave as friends.

Take the plunge!

Hi

I went on this holiday in September 2011 (I was 53 then). It was my first JY holiday. There were 40 of us in the group, and the age range was about 40 - 78. Everyone was very friendly and we had a great time. The hotel is lovely, and the food was good too. We were very lucky and had gorgeous weather for the whole week. I can honestly say that I was very sad to be leaving at the end of the holiday! So I would definitely recommend it.
