Good for you on being able to go with your family. I am still trying to talk mine into going.... although I did take my daughter once and that is where she honeymooned a couple years ago.

I ALWAYS travel alone but I can appreciate your apprehension at doing something different that what you have become accustomed to. Clives is always a good way to go. Chances are if you do have to share, it will be with someone who arrives at or close to the same time as you. If you decide to take the JUTA bus, you make have to wait a little to fill up but I have never waited too long and I always meet the most interesting people. Often, since it's just me, I get to sit up front with the driver which is a nice view.

Either way you go, you can't go wrong! ENJOY!!!!!
