Hi Sylvia i realy enjoyed reading your post as i have just booked my first JY holiday and am quite nervious about it

knowing that someone else did the same and never looked back is great to no Thanks

Glad to help Daphne. The only problem was that I got very badly bitten - by the travel bug! Holiday No.6 coming up in May.

Happy travelling,

Sylvia

Such positive comments posted, and equally positive comments from very good friends of mine, so I'm taking my courage in both hands and booking with Just You to go to Spain in May - the Andalucia trip. I've travelled alone, internationally, and know that I love doing that, and I'm happy to mooch by myself by day, but I hate the thought of sitting at mealtimes on my own, or going down to the bar for an evening. I fear I might just stay in my room!

Hello,

First of all you will not eat alone - secondly, don't sit in your room - go to the bar - you'll miss so much otherwise.

Hi this was my 1st JY tour five years ago and I'm just about to do my 10th! You will be fine at mealtimes - at dinner, the tour manager will reserve some tables in the dining room for the group and if your group is like mine, many will be retiring to the bar after dinner! I hope you have a great time.

Best wishes,

Bob

wow Im new to all this too, the discussion group and the holidaying alone.

Ive booked my 1st holiday (scary stuff) but feel reassured by all the positive comments

Im booked on the Treasures of Andalucia towards the end of March, any advice or tips will be gratfully received and read.. probably several times!

Gosh, I've just booked the same holiday for mid-May. My first alone, too. Feeling very brave!

Is Anyone going to the China discovery trip on 9th Sept.?

I booked this today, but feeling very nervous and apprehensive about going alone,

I have just returned from Sri Lanka with a member of my support group, widow and widowers, but the tour was All couples, and felt really sad as myhusband passed away followed by my only sister ,i feeling that i have to take courage and do this on my own, but I Am feeling very apprehensive about it.

On a positive notę i booked today , but would be wonderful if I could contact anyone before i go

Regards

I'm a brand new member & have not booked a holiday yet as I've never been on holiday on my own before & I'm very nervous of travelling on my own. Reading these posts has inspired me slightly but I still lack the courage to actually book anything.

I have my 11th tour booked I can assure they are great fun, I hope you find your courage to book a tour or else you are missing out.

Every JY traveller had to book that very first holiday and if you find it is not for you what have you lost. A few days of your life and some money. BUT if it works for you, you will be seeing the world with like minded people, some of who could be new friends and you won't be on your own unless you want to be. Start small with a short trip not too far from home so that you don't feel overwhelmed and don't be scared of saying it is your first time - all the holidays I have been on first timers are really looked after by the rest of the group. Go for it.

I have just found this great website and have been reading through the posts which are very reassuring.

I live in Australian and am planning a trip to UK & Europe in October this year. The first couple of weeks I will be travelling with a friend and then for the last two weeks will be travelling solo. I am thinking about spending some time in Bruges & Amsterdam.

Previously I have travelled to South America, Ireland, France, Spain and Italy as well as the usual places that Australian's go - Bali, Malaysia and Fiji.

Anyways, the holiday is still some time away, but I will definitely be checking in here to look for tips and other peoples stories.

cheers

Not sure why you are still lacking the courage to go ahead and book something. If you really want to go somewhere, then have a look to see what is on offer, choose a place you always wanted to see and book it. Life is too short and you have to try and make most of each day. I can assure you that you will enjoy your first Just You holiday. If you are so unsure, then just book a short City break to see how you like it.

Don't worry about not being able to share something amazing or wonderful - you will be able to do so with one or some of your fellow Just You travellers. Do go ahead and book the 5 day break and see how it goes. You will be amazed and will want to book another holiday on your return.

Good luck - do let us know once you have booked.

Jaya

I always take the time to talk to newbies on holidays as i know it can be nervous however i have honestly never met anybody that felt left out. Normally noone knows anybody else on this trip and you are all in the same boat but what you all ultimately have in common is you are both going to enjoy the holiday.

I am still in contact with people i have met.

Thanks

Mark
