I have just booked my second Just You holiday, namely Discover Puglia, departing 3rd June 2018.

Just wondering if anyone else is going on this trip, and would like to get in touch.

My first JY was the Bordeaux Gourmet break in April 2016, which was very enjoyable.

Also , has anyone been to Puglia and maybe could give me some tips.

Regards,

John (Alfie 1960)

Hi

I did this trip in 2014. Puglia is a lovely, unspoiled area of Italy. Places visited are interesting and local guides give you a real flavour of their history.

Personally, I was not keen on the hotel or its location but you might feel differently.

There are some reviews of this holiday in the appropriate section of the forum which may give you more up to date opinions.

Enjoy your holiday

Hi John,

Good to see you popping up on here again. Hope you are well. The Bordeaux holiday was fun, even if not quite gourmet.

Puglia is on my list for sometime in the future. Have a February river cruise booked with JY so need to do that before I think of any more!

All the best,

Rae

Hi Rachel,

Great to hear from you again. I agree that the Bordeaux trip was fun, apart from the penultimate night, when David and I had food poisoning. Always regret not being able to go to St. Emilion with you and the others, for lunch on our last day. Wonder what happened to that fun girl Joanna?

Why not come to the Discover Apulia trip on 3rd June 2018?

Best wishes for Christmas,

John x

Hi John,

I'm not sure I'll manage that trip. Am off to Lake Bled for New Year and then river cruise in February. It would have been great to meet up with the others too. The day in Bordeaux still makes me laugh when I think of the 'allo, 'allo scenario in the oyster bar.

Joanne had that link where we could all add our photos but I lost that so no longer have email addresses. Do you still have it? 

Have a lovely Christmas and all the best in 2018. 

If you ask the admin team I'm happy for them to give you my email address as it would be great to catch up with your news.

Hi Rachel,

You are busy! I am going away quite a few times next year also. Managed 8 trips this year , which was a bit over the top.

I'm afraid I don't have the link from Joanne either, and only have one photo of our lunch in Bordeaux, when I spilt the posh salt I had just bought, all over my fish!

I will ask the admin team for your email address.

Best wishes,

John

I have authorised Amy to give you my email but due to the time of year she may not get back to you immediately.

Have a good Christmas.

Hello Amy,

Many thanks for sending me RaeW's email address.

Just wondering if there has been much interest yet for the Discover Puglia trip on 3rd June 2018, and if so, do you have the men/women split?

Hope you have a great New Year.

Regards,

John (alfie1960)

Can you let me have another update on the group number and male/female split. Seems that the men are completely outnumbered.

Thanks,
