Hi everyone, I am going on my first JY holiday to America Golden West in April 2013. I've seen these places so many times on TV and in movies, can't wait to see them for real. Anyone else going on this tour? I'm flying down from Newcastle day before leaving from Heathrow.

I've just booked this trip. Apparently there are already 19 others booked (and there was me thinking I was booking super-early!). First trip with JY and looking forward to all of it but especially San Francisco and a trip to the Grand Canyon.

Hi my name is Sharon I am 35. I am going on the trip on the 15th April. I am really looking forward to it. This will be my first time to America and first time I have been on holiday on my own.

Is anyone thinking of going to Alcatraz, as this is something I definitely want to do ?

Looking forward to it already

Hi Sharon, I'd like to see Alcatraz too. Not too sure how to book though. I'm going to wait until January and then decide whether or not to book in advance. Scared of losing my money if something goes wrong!!! Sue

Hi Sue, I am going to try and find out which day we have free to do it as some days already include a excursion. If I find out i will post it on here. If anyone already knows please let me know.

Thanks Sharon R

If anyone does book Alcatraz (in the future) can you let me know what date and time you book it for, and then I can book the same trip.

Hi does anyone know why on the list of available excursions it says that we need to pay for the Las Vegas by night tour. I read the brochure and it says that this should be a included excursion.

Kind regards

Hi Sharon and all, I've been told to book Alcatraz on the 2nd day in SF. 1pm Alcatraz cruise if I'm not doing the JY Bay cruise or 2.30pm Alcatraz cruise if I am doing the JY Bay cruise. Need to be at the dock half hour before cruise departs and I understand the hotel is quite near the dock. However, I'm going to wait until I get my Itinerary from JY in January just to make sure nothing has been juggled around! At this stage I'm not sure if it's worth doing the Bay cruise as well as the Alcatraz cruise, need more detail from JY.

Hello Anita,

Nice to see you booked this trip also, I am going April (as thread says anyone going to America's golden West April 2013)... But I shall be sure to keep you informed as to how it goes. This is my first trip with Just You, although I have travelled with others before, so I am hoping it all is as good as they say.

Few things I have found... Alcatraz isn't included which did surprise me but there is free time if we want to go. Also, the Grand Canyon tours seem rather limited, considering what is available on the internet. I am sure it will all work out :)

Also, staying at Heathrow the night before seems a little daunting, - stuck in a hotel room by oneself... but I am sure I can cope...

Anyway, shall keep you posted, and I hope you have a lovely trip.

Jac

thanks for that Jac hope you have a brilliant time and would love to hear from you how it all went

Im going on the 15th April,and will travel from Birmingham to Heathrow.

I have now decided to stay over in Heathrow after all,the night before the flight.

Anyone on here recommend any hotels for me.I have stayed in the Comfort Hotel a long way back now (2009) but am open to any other places.

Many thanks :)
