I have become a world singles holidays traveller all of a sudden! Not that I wasn't a traveller before, but I was truly independent before I discovered Just You. I went on the Canada Coast to Coast by Train holiday in September and loved it all so much that before I even got back to the UK I asked Suzanne, our brilliant tour manager, to see if I could get a last minute place on the Boston, New England and NYC tour - came back yesterday and feel as though my feet haven't touched the ground. What fabulous experiences, sights, sounds, new tastes, new cultures... all too much for the brain to take in this quickly but a wealth of memories to ponder over these coming months until my next holiday. At a late-ish stage in life I am becoming a committed explorer. I don't mind that things will not always be the same as the UK - in fact, if I did, I might as well stay at home. I loved the flexibility, open mindedness and sheer fun and exuberance of some of my fellow travellers - you know who you are! Our tour manager, Suzanne, was experienced, helpful, knowledgeable, kind and patient and went that extra mile to look out for and care about her 'charges' and she gave us little extra thoughtful touches that all added to the marvellous experience of the two holidays. Maybe it says it all that another of the ladies on the last holiday was already booking to go away again with her in 10 days time!! Fabulous time, thanks to Suzanne for being our tour manager. Carpe diem and count your blessings.....
