I have been recently widowed but my husband and I loved adventures. I wish to continue doing this but feel a little daunted.

Janet

there are many ladies and men who have been widowed that travel with JY, and although it is daunting to do they all have positive comments, I am sure one of them will reply to you. Can I suggest you have a look around all the JY forums and see what people have to say. I have my 10th tour booked started travelling in 2006, great tours, your very safe, your looked after with out being treated like a child!, you get to see and do so much, and nice people to meet along the way. So why not sit down and see which tour you like the look of, you can always ring the office or post on the editors board to Julie, if there's a tour and date you have in mind they can give you an idea on how many are book male to female ratio and age range if that would help you.

Give it a go, and see what you think nothing ventured is nothing gained...

If you have any questions just ask, someone on here will have the answer or if not point you in the right direction.

Good Luck

Hi

Why don't you have a look to see what Just You have to offer? I am sure you will find something exciting. Travelling with Just You is great - nothing to worry about as everything is taken care of. You will have an opportunity to meet people of all ages and experiences. I would say, choose something and just go ahead and book it. Life is too short.

Regards

Jaya

Hi,

So sorry to hear about your new situation, I know exactly how you feel. Have you read the reassurance for newcomers I posted? This explains how I felt and what happened. Please believe me when I say I have never looked back. I had two JY holidays last year, and have three booked for this year - one with Jy and two with another company, much smaller than JY but following the same ethos. Look t what is on offer, read any reviews, and if you still like the look of it - go for it. You won't regret it.

My best wishes for whatever you decide.

Hi,

I widowed 8 years ago and decided to go on my first JY holiday to China as it was somewhere I had always wanted to go. I had a fabulous time and since then I have not looked back. As well as various holidays with family I have been on a further JY holiday to the Grand Canyon and also on a couple of cruises on my own one from Australia to the USA and the other in the far east. I'm now planning another JY holiday early next year. As others have said just choose where you want to go and book it you won't regret it, the JY travellers are all very friendly and you won't feel alone for long.

Good luck

From one Jan to another, get on the phone to book a trip. I have been on 4 trips with America's Heart and Soul booked for November. I have looked at other tours but always feel alone when there are mainly couples booked on these trips. There are always single people looking to have a great time with Just You.

If you wait till May 12th, there are a new set of holidays coming out. I am so excited as they keep showing pictures of new tours.

Hi Janet. I was widowed six months ago and felt daunted by the thought of solo travel, but have felt very supported by other JY members which has enabled me to book my first trip to Tuscany this September. I know my husband would want me to carry on and felt if I left it until next year I would never do it. We are all travelling solo for a variety of reasons so all have something in common at the outset so go on pick up that brochure and book something!

Regards

Vin

Hello Janet

The best thing I ever did after my husband died nine years ago, was to take my first Just You holiday. It took me a year to decide to book and I almost cancelled the holiday the night before. I arrived at the airport a nervous wreck and was dreading the whole thing. However it was a wonderful experience and a memorable holiday, everyone so friendly, perfect Just You rep and made lots of new friends.

Take the plunge, you will not regret it.
