Hi!
Am venturing on booking my first holiday and have never been away on my own! I feel pathetic feeling so scared and nervous at the prospect of it but badly want to make the first step! any ideas? Just for further info am in my fifties and am the typical divorcee whose children have left home!!
Many thanks, Bella
Hi Bella,
What your are feeling is absolutely normal, and is common to about 99% of first timers on this forum. Read the posts and you will see what I mean.
I was very apprehensive about my first JY holiday; so much so that I seriously thought of asking my GP to declare me unfit for travel so that I could cancel and claim on insurance; now that really is pathetic.
However, I went to France with a lovely group some first timers, some regulars, (ranging from mid-30s to mid-70s, some older ones fitter than the younger, but age doesn't matter) thoroughly enjoyed it and am now impatiently waiting for my next one in September, and I have already decided where my third will be.
Don't be scared. Find somewhere you would like to go and book it. You will be well looked after. One thing that is not obvious from the forum is that JY send you luggage labels so that you can identify other travellers at the check-in. I spotted several fellow group members at Heathrow when I went to France.
Hope this helps
Book, go, enjoy.
Regards
Sylvia
