    Default Who has gone on vacation alone?

    Another thread got me to thinking about that. Ever go on vacation alone? I enjoy it. It's different to be sure then going with someone, but you can do what you want, when you want to do it, etc. Se what you want to see, and so forth.

    Like everything, has it's +/- but I'm surprised how many won't even consider it. Tends to have a slower pace, but it can be good for the soul and gives you some introspective time.

    Been on more vacations with people/a person then alone to be sure, but some times, depending on where ans for how long, actually prefer doing it alone.

    I did a cross country road trip alone once. I did stop and visit friends along the way, but the majority of the time it was just me and the open road. It was awesome.

    When I vacation alone I usually just end up chillin in my hotel room. I need a companion to go and have fun with or visit if I am bored. I know how could you be bored on vacation? But I do get bored, that's why I usually don't go on vacation.

    I've thought about it for this summer because I'm not in a relationship & need a break bad. I'm not really the hang at the bar type of guy & don't like to eat alone if I'm out so that would be the only downfall.

    It really depends on where you are going, but I typically have no problem vacationing alone.

    It's a different animal than going with others, but it can be even more enjoyable. Plus it can be a way to meet new people. I met one of my very best friends while vacationing in Europe alone, if I'd been with people I seriously doubt we would be friends now.

    And I really prefer Vegas alone... but that's mostly so I can sit and play blackjack for hours on end and not be bothered.

    I went to London on my own last year, though I eventually met up with my ex and spent about half the time with him. The time on my own was heaven on earth and one of the most fun times I've ever had on a vacation, ever. The time I spent with him was hell, and one of the worst times I've ever had on a vacation. I just wish I'd done the whole thing on my own, because the time with him was so miserable it almost ruined the entire trip.

    I've done it a couple of times though not to any place very exotic. Still, after 20 years of "family vacations" I really enjoy being able to do what I want when I want to do it.

    I wasn't exactly alone. I took the dog. I decided to run away for thanksgiving break one year. I ended up at a small motel with a stocked lake. I enjoyed the peace and quiet. I loved not having to share meal or activity decisions. It was a wonderful few days and I came back feeling really nice.
    Thank Goodness I smartened up! The old me is dead and gone.

    I've done it for extended periods by myself and loved it. You really get to know yourself and if you have a tendency to be quiet, it forces you to put yourself out there and socialize with strangers.

    That said, I also think it's nice to travel with company...the key is to have company that you are compatible to travel with. Otherwise...it sucks.

    I've never traveled alone but I've thought about it. I've never been alone for more than a few hours at a time because I've never even lived alone. (which I'm beginning to resent) I genuinely enjoy doing things by myself like going out to eat, or seeing a movie etc., but I'm still trying to work up the courage to vacation alone.
    Follow your heart and do what feels right for you, because that’s living. Everything else is dying.

    I took several trips to LA alone before I moved out here.
    They were really nice, and both were the best trips I ever been on.

    I am a loner, I think, by nature. So most of my travelling has been alone. My best friend is greatly afraid of flying but will drive anywhere. So although I've done trips with him, they were somewhat shorter, as I really didn't want to spend a week and a half doing a car trip. So we never got out to Mardis Gras like we said we were going to (before the hurricane). I still could go and I will.

    A lot of trips have been organized around this and related activities. At one time, I visited SW members in various places including Ontario. And of course, the early SW gatherings that were successful and had a great time.

    I went to Tampa and had a blast even with the ridiculous heat. Ybor strip is fun as are the various clubs. A lot of clubs in Myrtle Beach are fun.

    You can have fun in Montreal any time without any one.

    I am looking to do a Europe trip, only crappy health last year kept me from it. I will probably hit France and Germany. I also hope to hit Thailand.

    Not sure what kind of activities you like, but I always liked this stuff as a back drop or major event. It gets me out of the house as I am also a home body.

    I went to Spain alone for the summer, had a blast, and ended up meeting my boyfriend a month and a half into my trip. In a salad bar in Barcelona, of all places. We ran around Europe, went back to our respective cities (Vancouver and SF) and have been chasing each other around the world ever since. ^_^

    Even though I'm in a relationship I still like to get away and take side trips on my own. Alone time and letting life surprise you is important sometimes.

    My dad went on vaction alone, but he takes a lot of tours, and likes to sit at a bar. He is very social. If you are, then im sure you would meet people in no time. Depending where you go, vaction alone can be great! Such as cuba etc at an all inclusive resort.. has everything!

    If you have a plan then vactioning alone is a blast and relaxing!

    As a rule, when vacationing alone, I go to areas I know some people locally, so I have people to meet up with for a dinner etc. That way, I can do my own thing most of the time, and see people when I want to. I often end up enjoying doing my own thing more and fail to call/meet up with those I told I was be in the area. I'd like to take a cruise alone. I think that would be fun and relaxing.
