Hi Will,

Exciting times! As I've told you previously I think I'm sorted for next year, but I will be scouring the new brochure and reading up on all the new tours to find inspiration for 2015! You've done us proud with 26 new tours, can't wait to read all about them!

If I had a free hand in deciding new tours (and I know JY have done some of these in past years), I'd go for Tanzania with Zanzibar add-on, Namibia, Ethiopia, Uganda/Rwanda for gorilla trekking, Nepal, Malaysia, a JY version of the Travelsphere Indonesia, Peru/Amazon, Croatia/Monenegro/Ablania and Patagonia tours, the Baltic countries and a longer Russia tour. Think that'll do for now, I need to get back to work!!

I hope you get a great reaction to the new tours as I know they are the result of a lot of hard work on your behalf and the rest of the team,

Cheers,

Bob

some cracking ideas in there Bob! there are a couple in there that we are already looking at for 2015 in fact!

Hi Will thanks for the feedback and delighted to hear that some might be in the pipeline for 2015, I'll have to wait till Sept 2014 to book any though as I want to have the full schedule to make the best choice! Another question for you - I'm hoping to do Australia and New Zealand over the next five years all being well and will the Dubai stopover be continued for Australia: it is in the current brochure for 2014 but not on the website? It would make me more likely to do it sooner rather than later if it was as it seems more exciting than Singapore! Also will the Cook Islands add-on (which also appeared briefly and then disappeared again on the website)for NZ be brought back? That would definitely move NZ up my list a few places!

Thanks again for your helpfulness and feedback, we all really appreciate it!

Cheers,

Bob

Hi again Bob,

Australia and NZ are evry much driven by which airlines are doing which routes and if they are more interested in selling groups or individual flights. It can change on an annual basis so it's very hard to predict what we might be doing in the next 2-3 years to Aus/NZ.

not very helpful I know!

I'm hoping that of the 26 new ones there will be something for everyone...!

Hi Will,

I've done the JY China tour, that was my 1st time with Just You nearly 5 years ago and it was fantastic. The Travelsphere website has a tour including the southern part of China. I would love to see a similar trip with JY especially for the Hong Kong and Guilin add ons.

Best wishes

Lynda

Hi Will, on the contrary that is very helpful - now I know the reason why various stopovers might or might not be offered. I'll have to wait and see! That's no problem as there are still a number of tours I'd like to do and I'm very much looking forward to reading about these 26 new tours and I hope most, if not all, of them prove popular and make it into the 2015 brochure!!

Cheers,

Bob

On the Floida tour in May, tours to Mexico were mentioned. Kim said tour would be in November. I assumed that would be this year, is this correct?

Well done Will for answering everyone's post. Impressed.

It would be nice to see some shorter holidays, say 5 days at affordable prices. Also some more city breaks, like Rome, Paris, Madrid, New York. Also Jersy or other locations in the UK, like the Lake District or Cornwall. some of the places mentioned in the thread are expensive or for more then 10 days - not everyone can take that many days off work or afford them.

Hi Robert, sounds like crossed wires there. Mexico won't be available until 2014, I think the dates are around the Autumn.

Hi Will,

Sorry to keep nagging you, and I know September is only a few weeks away, but are there going to be ANY NEW Long Haul holidays in 2014 - excluding the USA - new countries rather than amended existing holidays? I'm not interested in UK short breaks, which I can do myself, and I prefer holidays to be longer, rather than shorter!

Cheers,

Hils

I really hope that the holidays that are on the website search for July/Aug 2014 are improved on.

As a teacher, I have specific times for a holiday and only china is there unless you want a European holiday.

USA

South frica

Mexico

Other far East

Etc are slowly disappearing each year, which is a real disappointment
