Age Range?

[psouthga]

Hi All,
I've just spent Xmas & New Year in Thailand and the age group ranged from 24 up to 70. Believe me it's not an issue, got on with everyone and peoples ages didn't come into the equation. When booking another Just You Holiday I wouldn't worry about the age range at all, more on how am I going to fit all these holidays in ;o)

Hi,
I'm 41 and new to Just You. After reading all the messages, it does seem as if there is a great range of ages.
I'm still trying to pluck up the courage to book a holiday, but am hoping to go on the Venetian cruise in July.
Best wishes,
Frances

I am a 25 year old and have recently booked myself on the Classic Italian Cities which departs September 27th 2007. I did it on a bit of a whim as Italy is my dream location - have never left the UK before. I am blowing my savings on it but am confident of having a good time. The whole point is that I dont want to go clubbing and get drunk I can do that at home for far less money!!
I am very nervous about my first trip abroad and about not knowing anyone but most folk I know have partners to travel with and have already booked their holidays this year. I firmly believe I can get on with anyone regardless of age and having read everyone's comments I feel like I'll meet plenty of people who simply want to see an amazing (hopefully!) country and that one thing will bind us together. If I only meet one person that I can have a laugh with I'll regard myself very lucky regardless of their age. I'm a bit shy and lack a little confidence with my peers anyway!
Never know unless I try!!

Ps if anyone else happens to be going on the same trip it'd be nice to hear from you

Hi Mandy

Have just read your message and wanted to say you will have a wonderful time, Italy is magical, it's a fabulous place to go for the first time you go abroad, it was where I went the first time I went abroad (Lido di Jessolo which I notice is on your trip) more years ago than I care to remember! I've been to Italy 3 times with Just You although not done the actual trip you are doing but have been to Venice and Florence, and I am sure you will love it. I've done about 6 or 7 trips with Just You so far and agree with the other posters here, it doesn't matter about age, one of the best times I had was when, aged 57 myself, I got together with another lady on the trip - 83 going on 17, she was brilliant! - so you see it's all an attitude of mind, not the years you've clocked up or not! Have a wonderful time

Does age really matter when your on holiday? I dont think so!! Just enjoy yourself! I'm comfortable with people of all ages (I'm 55). I'm pretty sure that the variation in ages can only add to the experience> Enjoy!!

Hi Catrina,
I did the Black Forest House Party last November. It was great fun the age range was from about 30 to 70.
We had a laugh from the time we all met at Folkestone until we returned home. It was truly a house party in many ways.
Everyone looked out for each other, the friendship was marvellous. I have booked to go on the Shanghai Yangtze River Cruise in September.
By the way I am 62yrs old and have a good sense of humour .

Hi Everyone

Age.... A tricky one this. I think "attitude" is more important. If you're with a group of people who want to get along with one another and have a great time, age isn't a factor.

I did an Easter Weekend in Folkestone with TravelSphere which evolved into Just You and had a really good time. I was 45 at the time with people on my trip of similar age, older and younger. We all had a super time. I've been on trips in the UK where I was the youngest and most of the others were about 10 years or more older than me, but I still had a wonderful time.

With regards to comments about another company that has specific age ranges - really it depends on the people on the holday - you can go on one holiday in a certain age-range and have a super crowd.... then go on another in exactly the same age range and there might be a little bit of bitching (but this is the exception rather than the rule).

I haven't given Just You in it's present format a try but certainly hope to do so.

Hi, I am new to the site and looking towards solo holidays. Your posts are encouraging for this 59 year old who is not yet over the hill but still loves to climb it. It is daunting conptemplating a holiday alone so this seems the safest way to go. I was concerned that the age range might be much younger, any one know if there are any holidays arranged spacifically for the over 50's other than through Saga? I will keep checking the site and hopefully find something suitable.

Hello
I have just received brochures and really would like to go on one of the holidays but i am worried about the age range as was told it was 50 and above,i am 43 but tend to be with people younger than me.
I would really like to be in contact with someone my age who is possible going on one of these holidays, not sure which one as yet .

Hi, I'm 27 years old and will going going on the Wonder of China + Hong Kong trip on 12th September. I'm a bit hesistant about being one of the youngest there. Although I get on with people of all ages, I'm hoping there'll be some people around my age so I don't stand out too much!

I'm really looking forward to this trip as it's my first Just You holiday and my first trip alone. My grandparents on my mother's side are from China, but moved to Malaysia in their 20s. My mum has never been to China and now I'm beating her to it!

I'd love to hear from anyone else going on this trip.
