I can understand you feeling nervous, I have been in many JY USA tours but not this one! I can assure you it's a very safe way to travel and once you get on your way you will be fine I am sure. The USA tours tend to be full on moving around to other hotel or areas, so you will be kept busy I am use. Try and do all you feel able to do, as you can end up doing some amazing things, ie helicopter flights etc. and optional tours. You never need to be alone unless you want to. I hope someone that is going on the tour makes contact with you in time, it is still early days.

Have fun, if I can help with anything else regarding tours just ask and I will try and answer.

You'll be fine you wont be the only one on a first trip but its a fatastic holiday, you'll see amazing sites and meet some very nice people.

Be prepared for some long days, early starts and living out of a suitcase its definately a full on holiday.

Hi Liz,

I have just booked this holiday too! This will be my second trip with Just You, the first one was earlier this year when I did the Inspirational China trip. Whatever doubts I had were dispelled when I met up with one of my fellow travellers at Kings Cross. We had chatted previously on the forum so that by the time we did meet we already felt we had a friend.

As soon as we went into the airport lounge we met up with the rest of the group and from that moment on we never stopped laughing. I never felt alone, there was always someone to talk to and we helped each other with cases, airport security etc. What a wonderful group of people they were and I am sure we will make a lot of new friends on our USA trip.Some of the group had been on the USA trip and they inspired me to book it.

Well I am sure we will hear from others booked on the trip in the months to come, the time will fly by! Look forward to chatting to you.

Don't be nervous Liz, I went on the September one this year and although a little fast paced it was brilliant. Such wondrous sites to see and excellent company. I did this trip with a trcheostomy and a feeding tube in my stomach, I'm not young either and I had no trouble whatsoever. It might be a bit hot in June particularly as you get further south. I'm jealous, I wish I was going again!

Hi Liz, I did this tour last May and can only agree with the others who have replied to you in saying that it was absolutely brilliant!. The scenery is awesome, so many highlights too many to mention here but the Grand Canyon is beyond all words. Do the helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon if possible and the 4 wheel drive tour of Monument Valley. As other people have said, the tour is full-on but there is everything from the history of the wild west (Fort Laramie, Deadwood, Little Big Horn battlefield) to the fabulous scenery and the bright lights of Vegas to see and enjoy. Trust me, you'll have a great time! Mike

Thought I would bring this up to the top and see if there is anyone else out there who is booked on this trip besides Alan and Liz. I have just booked connecting flights from Manchester. Now that Christmas is over the time seems to be flying by!

Yes and it's good news today as Julia has confirmed that the holiday has been cleared to go so now we can really get excited. I am looking forward to hearing about the optional excursions so that I can get them booked and paid for. Have you booked anything? So far I have booked the Salt Lake City and Las Vegas by night one.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Liz,

No need to be nervous we will have a wonderful time! You may possibly be the youngest, but that shouldn't be a problem. When I went to China the youngest was 31, but we all got on really well. I am sixty six but I certainly don't feel it.

Where are you travelling from? I am flying down from Manchester in the morning.

It won't be long!

See you soon.

Hi Liz

Don't worry about age as there will be a wide range but i am sure we will all get on famously as the trip looks exciting with so many great places to visit. Yes it may be tiring and we will live out of a suitcase but the group will always be there for each other for as much or as little as you want. You won't be on your own and the tour managers are brilliant and i bet you will come away with some fantastic memories and start thinking about the next trip on your return.

See you soon

Alan
