If you read the previous posts you will see that the message is to do it, there seems to be a lot of first timers on JY holidays so you will not be the only one,I think each holiday has at least 20 people so you will have a lot of support with a mix of new comers and second and third timers. I would say do it.

Sorry if this seems like a lecture.

Even though I have found that the discovery weekends are fully booked I have decided to take the plunge anyway and book myself a holiday abroad with Just You. I haven't decided where to go to yet and I am nervous of course about my first single holiday, but I figure it will be an experience whatever happens, so remember that you're not the only one who's a bit scared, but I'm sure it's worth doing!

You should go for it - the Discovery Weekends are great ! Everyone is new and that makes them even more eager to meet new people. I went one last November . There were 50 of us varying from 30's to 70's. We had great time. Since then I have been to Egypt on a Nile Cruise, and I am going to Oberammagau next month, and Las Vegas in September. I am a widower , I lost my wife 18 months ago - these holidays have been the best thing that has happened to me.

I am also on the last JustYou magazine.

I know you feel nervous and you say it is hard to go on holiday alone but think - how hard can it be to get on a coach or a plane? Take the plunge and have a great time. We have all had to do it at some time and never looked back! Go on, enjoy life - you know you deserve it. Good Luck.

Be happy, best wishes,

You say you will have to wait until next year for your holiday - I don't think so! Have you thought, it may be that Fate is telling you to risk going further afield? There are so many wonderful places you could go - so go and enjoy one of them. Who knows, it may be the first of many - as they say "the world is your oyster".

Good Luck.

Be happy, best wishes,

Lesley

I was thinking of one of the Bournemouth weekends. Like you, not too far, it doesn't seem so scary then does it!

I just wanted to say hello to everyone, I am new to this and was wondering if anyone will be or already has booked onto the up and coming discovery weekends?? I have never been abroad and unfortunately i'm not brave enough yet to book a holiday overseas, although at 41 its time too face a few demons, but I thought i'd start locally to begin with. I'd love to hear from anyone who has booked on one of these holidays or can give me some advice...

Kind Regards

Do you know which discovery weekend you would like to go on? I have decided to book the one in Nottingham on 13th August. As my previous post says I am very nervous but after all the encouraging words I have read I have decided to go for it. I wish you the best of luck wherever you decide to go!

I am 42 and new to Just you, I have decided to book for the 13/8/2011 to Nottingham discovery weekend. It would be nice to make new friends with you and fellow single travellers I am based in the wigan area

Hi Jemma I am new to Just You and I am also going on the discovery weekend at Nottingham on the 13/8/2011, it would be very nice if I could meet with you for a drink. I am based in the wigan area

I am new to just you but at 42 I have been on a few crusies and they are breathtaking the only thing with crusies you can not get off at sea so therefore you are stuck. I am going on the discovery weekend on the 13/8/2011 to Nottingham in my spare time I tend to draw building and the landscape then when I come home I paint in my studio.

I am 42 and new to just you, I am going on the discovery weekend in Nottingham on the 13/8/2011 I hope to see you there

I did a discovery weekend in Leeds last November, and had already booked to do a Christmas break with them. Had a really good time on both occasions, and I'm now just waiting for my Halkidiki holiday in May, followed by the Canadian Rockies and Alaska Cruise in Sept! It took me some time to pluck up the courage to do this, but I'm so glad that I did - what better way to see new places and meet new people - as someone said to me, "You're going on holiday with friends you have yet to meet" and I think that's a great way to look at it!

Take care

Many thanks

I live in the High Peak in Derbyshire and I wondered if there were other members living close to here.

It is unfortunate that weekend breaks are getting full but I will get to join some of you soon.Teresa

Anyone else going?
