I am also really nervous! I am newly separated from my husband so my worry is how I'll feel experiencing a holiday alone rather than with someone. I know there will be a group but I worry that when I see something amazing or wonderful, I'll be very aware that I used to share these things with him! I am so close to booking a 5 day break in Italy but something keeps stopping me. I keep coming back to the page to read reviews and experiences and I hope to find the courage to click the 'book now' button!

Hi

If you are worried about not being to share something you may be encouraged by the post I put on the "Magical Moments" in the section From Just You, here is the link

The website states there are 8 places left on the 28th May departure so I tried to book and was told my card was declined. I know I have sufficient funds so checked with my bank and they confirmed all was well. Assumed it was a glitch so tried again - declined again!

Called the booking line and was told the booking HAD gone through TWICE but there are no places on the flight from Heathrow so the late bookings team will bet back to me in 3-5 working days to tell me if I can actually go!!

Why does the website say there are 8 places left departing from Heathrow if in fact there might not be any? Does this type of thing happen a lot? To be honest, it isn't giving me a lot of faith in the company, nor did the conversation I had with the lady on the phone who made it sound like it was my fault for not booking earlier!

I am very nervous about this whole thing and to be honest, I feel like cancelling altogether 😞

We are naturally concerned to learn of the problems you had when attempting to make a booking with us. In order that we can fully understand why this has occurred it is necessary to speak to our IT Department and they are currently investigating. It is disappointing that having spoken to us, our Holiday Advisor it would seem that they have compounded the situation, please be assured this is not the standard of service that we wish to portray, and as soon as we have an explanation we will be in contact again.

Kindest regards,

Julia

Well I was hoping to come here and say that I had booked but there seems to be a problem!

Hi

I know that JY are having problems with the new website, but having said that, being the originator of the thread I think I can remove it, and today I came within a mouse click of doing so.

I often have problems when trying to post from the iPad, sometimes they don't get through at all.

So excited now and I have to say, everyone I have spoken to since my fist call has been fab!

Italy - here I come!!

Is anyone going on the inspirational China trip on the 9th Sept?

Would be great to meet a fellow traveller at Heathrow

Hi,

Hi

Yes, I am going on the 9th September and cannot believe how quickly the time is going. Had the last of my 'jabs' today, yipeee! Would be happy to meet up with fellow travellers at Heathrow. My first time with Just You although I have travelled on my own before so it would be nice to meet up with folks before we get on the plane rather than when we are all exhausted after 9 hours on it.

I'm just back from my first ever solo holiday, which took all my bravery to book, and I wish I'd done it years ago. I went to Mijas. Our guide was wonderful. My fellow travellers, a mixture of seasoned Just Youers and Newbies, were great. We were a predominantly female group, but pleasingly the men were all really nice to be around and equally good company. No hidden agendas. No inuendos. It was absolutely super and I shall certainly book with Just You again.

Honestly - take your bravery in both hands and book. You won't regret it.[/size][/font]

Hi In the very early stages of this new venture. Im in my fifties and have never been on holiday on my own but jumping in at the deep end and looking into Australia. Always wanted to go - on my wish list. I would like some feedback on this trip and some reassurance from some first timers would be appreciated. Debbie

Hi there

I am now 56 and I have been travelling with JY since 2006 I have been on 11 tours from Austria Tuscany Poland Kenya many USA tours Hong Kong + New Zealand, great tours you see so much and great fun as well, any questions just ask...

I was booked in JY Australia tour but it was cancelled and I couldn't make the date on offer so had to go another way. The country is amazing, Ayres Rock is a very special place and I took a helicopter flight over that, just a wonderful country and lovely people.

So I would say book it and enjoy all that's on offer

Cindy

Hi Cindy. Thanks for your reply. I was just wondering why JY cancelled the trip. I would be gutted if I had booked and was looking forward to it only to have it cancelled Debbie

Sorry for the delay only just noticed this, it was cancelled due to low numbers I was offered another date but couldnt do the dates.

I have done 11 tours this was the only one cancelled, I have been on a tour where people have joined a tour I am on, please be assured this doesn't happen often..

Cindy
