It might be a little to early to start saying hi, but it's only 3 week to go now and will come up quickly. so I thought I'd get the ball rolling and say hi ::)

I'm Chloe, I'm 25 but will be 26 when we go to Italy 😃 

This will be my 6th holiday with JY and I love it. This is my first Europe holiday with JY, normally I go for the big hols like India, China, Cuba etc so this will be good. 

I don't think there is an airport lounge on this hol but I hope to see some of you at the airport with your JY tags ::)

Don't be shy say hi lol 

Cya soon 

Chloe

I’m also booked for that tour on 7 June and shall wait to reveal my age! Suffice to say that it’s a long way from 25! :-(

Even so, this will just be my fourth trip with JY after, like you, China, India, Peru and Croatia but the latter was sold out by the time I booked. I chose sister company Travelsphere for Peru as it was a slightly better deal than JY. So I suppose I’ve only been twice, literally, with JY!

I shall look out for your tag at Gatwick and say ‘hi’ – if I make it by around 4am – the worst departure time I have ever had!

ATB,

Michael

Yes I will also be getting there about 4am. Yes it is the worst departure time I've had but if you think about it we arrive around 9 so then we get a full day in Italy, to make the most of it so I prefer that ::) how many euros are you taking? Oh Peru is definitely one of the ones I'm hoping to do next, but hoping to do Borneo first. Travelsphrere are very similar though so I'll be talking to you and getting your very good advice on that ::)

Looking forward to meeting you.

Cya soon

Hi Chloe:

Nice to hear from you.  Since posting my last comment, I saw somewhere else on this site an exchange on this very subject where a respondent was saying that he had an 06:20 departure and was seeking advice.  Replies suggested there was no point in getting there more than an hour or an hour-and-a-half before the flight at that time of night!

Still I have a car booked for 03:15 still so I’ll still be there by 4am.  I was also persuaded by the upside you mention of having almost another full day in Italy.  Also of getting an early choice of seat on the aircraft.

I decided on £200, or €228 in cash.  And £50 in pounds.  But I shan’t be spending/wasting money on souvenirs for all and sundry so if you think you will, you’d need to calculate the extra you might spend on them or yourself in that respect.

I can give you my advice on Peru now in one word:  GO!!  And on China in seventeen more emphatic words I told everyone upon my return:  “You MUST go to China; the greatest trip I have ever had in my life!

Don’t forget if you go with Travelsphere, you might well be the only singleton amongst the group, as I was in Peru, bar one other.

See you very soon;  now back to packing!

Michael
