Have You Ever Taken A Solo Vacation?
 

I am thinking about going on vacation solo the week between Christmas and New Years, and I was wondering if anyone out there has taken a solo vacation....where did you go? What did you do?

I probably won't do it cuz it's so out of character for me....but I am trying to try some "new things"....and waiting around for the people in my life to ever have the time or the money to vacation is starting to get on my nerves.

So if I get some good suggestions I might try. :aaa

I did once...I had a business trip to AZ and since I didnt see any chance of going back to that area in my lifetime, I took a few days off and went to Flagstaff, Sedona, took a train to the grand canyon..etc.

And I havent had a chance to go back so I'm glad I did.

I've never taken what would qualify as a real vacation alone, but I do quite often take a night or two alone and slip off to a state park as a getaway by myself. It does wonders!! Planning to get away next month for a few days.

I am thinking of something more "vacation-y".....like the Cayman Islands. I grew up in MI and I have always wanted to be on a beach during the Christmas season.

What did you do when you visited the places around AZ...alone?

Re: Have You Ever Taken A Solo Vacation?
 

the same things I'd have done with someone I guess...just much more peaceful. I didnt have to answer to anyone, accomodate anyone or anything.

I went sight seeing, shopping, took the guided bus tour of the Grand canyon, stayed in the hotel where they have that train..it's part of the "experience"...

I had a good time, very relaxing and I did what I wanted, when I wanted LOL

I never really go anywhere alone...hence why I never really go anywhere! :crazy

I think I am scared of spending the money for the vacation, and then I get there and I am bored out of my mind...which I could do for free in Houston on my couch!

Re: Have You Ever Taken A Solo Vacation?
 

well, just plan ahead. know what there is to do and make reservations ahead of time to do it....

dont go and waste your money hanging in your hotel room.

If you want to go and hang out on the beach all the time, go for it. You cant do that from your couch in Houston LOL

and if you enjoy yourself, Its not a waste of time! or money

Re: Have You Ever Taken A Solo Vacation?
 

Yeah, I know. I am just trying to make the logic that I know is rational make sense to me.

Re: Have You Ever Taken A Solo Vacation?
 

why?

if you want to go, go LOL

thats rational enough...or not.

I have never done that but would do it if I had the opportunity and money!
