Would You Like to Go on Holiday on Your Own

My brothers x-wife who is now remarried goes on holiday about 3 times a year on her own. Her husband doesnt get the same holiday entitlement as her. She says she enjoys it, and she likes the peace and quiet

I am not scared of going on holiday on my own, but I'd rather be with someone, whether that be my DH or friends

I could never do that...I go away without my DH but I go to see family so I am not alone More power to her, I can't even go eat alone

Yeah, I go do visits with family without J, but I couldn't do a holiday without him.
What fun is there in new experiences if you've got no one to share it with?

I like to go alone - I always meet new people wherever I go, and some of them have become friends. I also go with friends or my daughter, but I have no problem either way. It is better than going with someone whose tastes you don't share, and who just wants to laze on the beach while you want to go sightseeing or scuba diving or vice versa.

do you mean vacation? ya sure I would go alone, dpends on where though. But I would prefer to go with someone

Oh heck I won't even go out to eat alone. I will go shopping alone or to any store, but I feel funny sitting in a diner or even worse a restaurant alone. If I have to eat alone, I just go to a fast food place. I have seen people eating alone in diner's and feel sorry for them, it just makes them look so lonely....so my answer to traveling alone is a definite NO

I have travelled on my own but I was on my way to my sisters so that doesn`t really count, does it?
It was exciting though! She lives on Orkney and I live in the south east of england. I`ve been up about 5 times now. If you fly its quick but you have to get a connecting flight. The first time I went it took 2 days and it was by train, 2 coaches, two ferries and car! Quite the little adventure!
I would be happy to go there alone but I`d be too scared to go to a non-english country alone.

I wish I could! But I can't, I cry when I see people eating alone!

I would rather have someone there to share it with

I have taken extra time off during business trips to venture out and explore a place I've never been before.

For example, because of a Phoenix trade show, I had the opportunity to spend an overnight in the Mesa Verde area and went to Sedona, took a Pink Jeep tour and visited a 900 year old Native American settlement that was at the foor of a Butte, witnessed the briliant sunset reflecting off of the orange buttes and I was awed by the entire experience.

I did this all by myself, and it was a memory I'll cherish forever.

It would depend on the vacation for me. There are some things I want to do that may be difficult for me to find a partner to go with me for various reasons. Eg, can't get the time off work, can't afford it, not athletic, not interesting to them.

I love travelling alone - do it for work all the time! But for vacations, DH and I have never taken separate vacations! Right now, I'd like to until they get my kitchen done!

It's only bad if you get sick.

Way back in 1999 I went to England for two weeks on a Gardening trip w/o Neil. In fact I didn't really know anyone on the trip when it started. We all had the love of gardening however and it was a great time. In 2002 I did it again-another gardening trip to England and Europe-no Neil either!! Another good time. I have visited my sister w/o Neil coming along too. I don't mind vacation on my own!!

I am also one who hates to be alone. I would much rather share the experience of a vacation with someone. If its something DH doesn't like, then I'd find a friend to go with me. But I always find things must more fufilling if you're doing them with someone else.

I would never travel with out my husband, family or a large group of friends. the idea is unappealing to me *meh*. I have much more fun with a large group of people.

Would I go on vacation alone?
GONE!



Yes, I would

I travelled around Europe semi alone (we left (4 friends and I) together but had decided previously that we would do the first week together and the last two weeks separately as were arguing over where to go), as much as I love my friends, those two weeks were great for me.

But now, I think I probably wouldn't go without Matt unless it was to visit family or a work thing

OOOO YA, I would love to go on vacation alone..I would love to go to the ocean, or the mountains and enjoy the peace...I love going to the movies alone, but I like to eat out with other people..that is lonely for me..

Jaffacake - the Orkneys is one of my favourite places in the world! I would love to go back there someday.

I've travelled around the world alone. These days, I can't imagine doing that again. Well, I can, but I think it would suck. I would much rather travel with my husband than take a vacation without him. It's so much better when you have someone to share everything with.
