Hi, I'm also new to Just You and am in exactly the same position as my husband died last October.

I am booked on the same trip on 23rd August, also travelling from Gatwick.  This is the first time I've holidayed on my own but have had many holidays in France, which is one reason why I chose this particular trip.  When I booked I was told that 13 people had already booked, with 19 places available, so quite a small group.

Hi Lilybel, I am staying at the Sofitel Hotel, Gatwick North the night before we leave. If you are doing the same, perhaps we can meet for a drink. Email me XXXXXXXXXXX

Hi Lilybel, I have replied a couple of times, but I put my email address on here, which obviously is not allowed. I am staying at the Sofitel Hotel, Gatwick North, the night before we go, 22nd August. If you are doing the same, perhaps we could meet for a drink.

I lost my husband in October too, and like you thus is my first time with Just You.  We spent many holidays in France and that is why I chose this holiday...we loved the Dordogne and West Coast.

Feeling nervous so would love to meet up with anyone else in similar situation.

Hi Irene, as you have seen, I am staying at the Sofitel Hotel the night before. If that is what you are planning, would you like to meet up for a drink or dinner? Email me.

Hi Heady,  I would love to have met up beforehand but unfortunately I have booked at the BLOC Hotel, which I have now realised is at the South Terminal...clearly I didn't read the paperwork properly.  Will make contact with yo when we are actually at the airport, booking in for the flight.

Thanks for replying.

Hi Irene, you are still welcome to join us, if it is easy to get from your hotel over to ours.  If you are actually at the terminal, there is a shuttle across to North Terminal.  Sofitel has access from the departure/arrival hall.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Thank you Ann,

At the moment my daughter is driving me down to Gatwick and staying the night (she doesn't trust me on my own bless her) and I have booked dinner and breakfast for us both.  However she has injured her knee!!

If this means she will not be able to drive me down, I will book a local taxi and travel alone, in which case Iwould love to join you for dinner at your Hotel.

Will be in touch nearer departure date to let you know what I am doing.

Regards

Irene

That's a shame about your daughter. You will more than welcome to join us.i think you will need to ask the administrator here, to pass on your email address to me, or ask for mine. My train is due in around 7.00pm. Hear from you soon.

If only I knew how to request this!  Must admit I am pretty pathetic at these sort of sites, but if admin do read all these postings please pass my e mail to Heady.  Tho' probably better if I give you my mobile number  XXXXXXXXX , best to text me as reception can be pretty poor, and I don't always hear it ring.

Can't wait for this holiday!

By the way, do we dress formally for dinner?
