Hi, I'm booked on the Wild Borneo trip flying from Heathrow 15th June coming up from South Wales.  Would love to hear from others who are booked on the same trip and also those who have been, any advice or handy tips would be appreciated ?

Hello Sian, I'm on the May Borneo trip but am also from South Wales. Penclawdd on Gower. Shame we aren't on the same one as we could have travelled together. Maybe we will meet up on another trip. Getting excited about this one. No too long now!!!???

Hi

I am on the June Borneo trip.  Will be travelling down from Newcastle day before.  Will be booking into Hilton terminal 4 too.  We could meet up for dinner that night if you wish and do the transfer by Heathrow express together the next day.  Really looking forward to this- are you doing the add on?

Hello Linda, are you on the May trip the same as me or the June?  I'm travelling up from Swansea the day before and will be staying in the Park inn by Radison.  Don't be nervous. You will be absolutely fine and have a fabulous time.  Everyone on these holidays are really friendly. I went on my first JY holiday six years ago.  I was VERY scared but it was wonderful!!! I now go on an adventure every year.  My 'to do' list is getting longer and longer. Hopefully see you soon  🙂 🙂 🙂

Hi,

I'm going to go up the night before too, have you already booked the hotel? 

Is this your first time? I've got a mixture of nervousness and excitement ? I'm just doing the Borneo trip this time I didn't trust myself in a foreign country on my own

Hello Sian & Bridget

I am yet another one from South Wales (Cardiff in my case) who is interested in Borneo: I went on this holiday last May, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience: this remains one of my favourite long-haul trips to Asia, and I am sure that you will love every minute of it.

I would recommend doing the Singapore add-on if you have not yet been there.

Hello Bridget. Only just found this reply as I was not notified by email for some reason.  I thinkI will be ok once I meet the group.  Heathrow scares me a bit which is why I booked the Hilton as apparently I can walk to the hotel.  Looking forward to meeting you! ?

Sorry for late reply. I was notified via email for some reason and took a while to find it. I am on the May trip so that's a pity. I have added a stay on n the Shangril La rasa Ria resort ? So will be on my own . Hope fully by then I will have gained confidence

Yes am booked into Hilton terminal 4 - see flight is from there so just a short walk to terminal.  This is my 5th trip with Just You but can remember the nerves of my first - you will be fine - I have always found everyone friendly.

Great I'll see if I can book in there too, it's a minefield with all the different hotels! 5th trip! Any handy tips would be gratefully accepted  🙂 Is this your first time on the Borneo trip?

Hi.

I'm also going to  Borneo in May. I'm beginning to get excited now! This is my second JY  holiday but have been with another single traveller company several times. I'm staying at the Hilton the night before so maybe we could meet up there? Vicki

Hello Bridget, I'm on the Borneo trip in May too. No doubt catch up with you at Heathrow. I think but not sure that we have access to the exec lounge At the airport which is a nice place to meet fellow travellers. Not long now. ?
