Hi Eirwen, read the hundreds of comments by people in the same boat as you! All of us started with our first JY trip somewhere and as you will see, many on this community site have been on lots of JY hols. I've been on two, Treasures of Andalucia and America's Golden West - and had a fantastic time on both! The people are really friendly and JY holidays are so well organised, the tour managers are brilliant. Just decide on which trip you like the sound of best and go for it! I've two more booked - South African Explorer and Spirit of India and I can't wait! I've never been to an "exotic" location before, so am slightly apprehensive but I am so excited, I can't wait! Let us know which holiday you book!!
