Hi 

I am new to JY and would like some tips and possibly get some info from anyone else who is on this trip ?

Hi,

I am one of the 29 women on this, I hope , amazing trip.

 I have only been with JY once before and that was to New York. I have however travelled quite a lot since my husband died a few years ago.

I have never been away for over 4 weeks before , my max has been just over 2. This makes me wonder how on earth I will decide what to take and what not to pack. It's all in my head at the moment and I'm sure it will be fine in the end. After all we are staying in hotels that offer laundry facilities.

I'm very excited and also quite apprehensive.....roll on May.

Most I explorere been away was 22 days to NZ...I wouldnt bank on using hotels laundry facilities this has never worked for me, as you won’t be the only person trying  to do a few bits, also not all hotels offer soap for the machines or the right change or tokens,or you might not have the time, I now just rinse a few things through in the room and hang to dry when I am stoping anywhere for more than one night.

I am travelling from Manchester and will be staying at the Hilton Manchester Airport Hotel the night before departure. Is there any other traveler doing the same who would like to meet up, say for dinner?

Thanks for getting back to me, I went on a cruise on my own (I lost my husband early last year )  but that was just a week so packing for a month will be a challenge .If this goes well I may do a JY river cruise next year .

I am really looking forward to it now ..

You can always get the hotel to do the laundry.  Of course, this will cost a bit but at least they guarantee to return it you the same day or the next.

Thanks Jaya , I think that is what I am going to do and  get the Hotel ( halfway through the trip ) to do a full wash and iron . It will be worth it .

Thanks again

Thanks Julia , It was good to hear from some fellow Explorers as well. ...lol

It is not long now and I am unsure of  packing/ currency / vaccinations etc .

Kind Regards

Bella 

Are any fellow Explorers staying there ?

Bella

Use packing cubes and pack according to what you would want to wear each day. This way you do not have to take everything out. I do this on all my holidays. I was in Australia for a month in January and like you was worried about the washing, but everything went well. I had some washing done in Alice Springs and then washed a couple of items myself in the hotel where we were staying for more than one night - in fact I ended up with extra washed clothes! As for vaccinations see the travel nurse at your GP's surgery and they will advise you on what vaccinations you need. Enjoy your global experience.

Kind regards
