Do I go for it or not?

[Powelly]

I'm reading all the testimonals and message boards chats to make my mind up to book a singles holiday. I've not been away on my own before but am REALLY interested in the [URL=TourFrontPage.aspx?B=AJUW&TR=SLAU&T=&Layout=Layouts/ShowTour]Australian[/URL] holiday next year - its a place I have always wanted to visit and this tour visits all the places I specifically want to go to but also with the added bonus that you are not on a coach every day - some like some tours to OZ.I'm in my mid 30s so should really say what the ..... and go for it. I suppose really what is holding me back is I'm thinking will I be left on my own - I'm sure I wouldn't be as everyone would be in the same position and would not want to leave anyone out. Please any offers of support would be welcome.

T Powell - while I have never been to Australia, there's certainly one thing I can reassure you about. The only way you'll be left on your own is if you want to be. So 'no warries' as they say in Oz ;-)

T Powell: Like you I worry about being left on my own - even a visit to the loo and coming out finding everyone has disappeared off would scare me but I get the impression that the sort of folk who book these holidays would not let this happen. I am going to OZ in Sept - travelling on my own but staying with the "rellies" so this will be a good introduction to singleton travelling and I am 60 (but with a mind of a 40 yr old) so I hope I will be brave enough then to book a Just You holiday for 2007.

I say to you....... go for Oz.

I have travelled on my own lots of times and enjoyed the freedom this gave me. In addition have also travelled with a group on other occcasions, it all depends how sociable you want to be there is always someone who will suggest going for a drink, meal walk etc and you can choose to join in or not. All thats needed is a smile and a hello and thats it. I am of to USA with Just You in September the west coast tour. I chose to go in a group as would be hard to arrange by myself and safety in numbers etc. However some excersions I will go on and some I may not its up to me and I a am really looking froward to seeing west Coast cant wait to see the grand Canyon and have always wanted to see San Francisco. Go for it is what I say you will have a great time and especially going to Australia, all the work has been done for you you just have to enjoy it. Dont worry about age its just a number but you will regret it if you dont do it.

I have been on 2 Just for You holidays and have booked my 3rd today. I was worried like you but found on both holidays there was a good mix of ages and you can always find someone who wants to walk to the local shop, go out for a drink or sit in the hotel bar. The reps make sure that you are not on your own unless thats what you want. I had no doubts about booking again after my fist holiday. I say go for it I am sure you won't regret it.

can anyone tell me about the age range? I'm 36, and whilst I am very happy to mix with older age groups, the front cover of the brochure did suggest that 50+ was the target age group.

Hi Sian, i agree like you i am not sure of the target age range i am 39, and never done this before i need a break but i am worried about going alone

I have just provisionally booked Oz departing on 5 March 07. I am a young 42 and am hoping for a mixed age group. This will not be the first time I have travelled alone and, in my experience, these holidays are great fun and a chance to meet and socialise with like-minded people who you may never have met otherwise. Usually, the adventurous spirits of your fellow travellers mean that age becomes immaterial. Go for it!

hiya everyone
This is the first time i have every been so brave and booked a hoilday on my own..

I have alway been with friends or family on hoilday abroad..but i have missed out for the last three years on waiting for people to be free ect...

Did you Book for Australia in the end...............

I am going to Australia with Just you in June 2007, I went To USA in Sept.2006 Bos New England New York and had a great time, I am booked for Poland in April 2007 Krakow and Terta Mountains, so if you are still thinking of it, go for it I am sure you will have a great time, I am sure you will not be left alone, unless you want to be, these holidays are safe and lots to see and do, and you get to meet some interesting people....
