Hi all

I've booked my first JY tour to the national parks in the US in October 2024, anyone else booked on this trip?

Feel a bit nervous as it's my first big holiday by myself but I'm really looking forward to it. Looking forward to meeting anyone who is booked on the trip.

Hello Helen,

I'm on the national parks trip in October.  I've done it before and going again because the scenery is fanatastic.

Bring a camera and plenty of memory cards.  I look forward to meeting you, not long now.

Hi Helen,

I'm booked on the tour as well and can't wait.  I've done one holiday with Just You and was impressed with the organisation and thoughtfulness of the tour director.  You can spot JY holidaymakers by the luggage labels, and they are usually happy to chat - 2 people helped calm my nerves on my first trip while we waited in the check-in queue at Heathrow.  

See you soon!

Sam.

Hi Mark

Thats good to hear! I have my new camera ready and x3 memory cards. I can't believe it's come around so quickly and we go soon.

Look forward to meeting you as well.

Hi Sam

That's lovely to hear how the two fellow passengers helped calm your nerves. I really need to start looking at what to pack, I've not got a clue!

Look forward to meeting you.

Hope you all enjoy the holiday. I did it last Sept. Hope you get to see mount rushmore as at our time there it was foggy so didn't get to see it at all but just you can't sort the weather lol I enjoyed the holiday but just felt I wanted more time at each location as it is a lot packed into one holiday but you won't regret it. Little tip at crazy horse I believe there's a little train or something to get you closer to it a couple of our group discovered it and did it don't think our tour manager was aware of it so something to ask about when you're there

Thanks for the tip Donna, I will certainly look out for the train at Crazy Horse.

Hi Helen, I'm booked on the trip as well and looking forward to seeing the autumn colours. I looked at the weather forecasts for where we are going and looking like a wide range of temperatures so have to pack clothes for layering.

Hi I'm also on this tour next week. Did a similar tour last year but Vegas to San Fran. Have to go back to do the Grand Canyon helicopter trip as rain stopped play back then. Looking forward to meeting everyone.
