I have not gone by myself. I guess it would be nice to go to a spa or something for the weekend, but personally, my favorite part of going on vacation is experiencing new things with someone i love. It is amazing to make new memories together.

In all honesty, i don't think I would go by myself so long as i was with someone I love.
 
well, I took a one week vacation on my own, drove out to the midwest to see someone, they had to work for most of the week so I was on my own for a major portion of it. I have to say that the 14 hours out, and 14 back really gave me time to think. On the way home I realized that the trip, more the driving and less the actual stay out there had changed my life. All that time to think, things pop into your head after a few hours. I really realized a lot about people I was friends with and realized that I couldn't be friends with them anymore, thought a lot about my direction in life.


as for actually being alone out there for a major portion of the week, it was nice...I could do and see what I wanted, at my own pace. I didn't have to put up with other people wanting to do different stuff, or coordinating stuff. I loved it

I feel the same way. But I hate making memories with the person I love then after she dumps the &^&* out of me I have these wonderful memories of an eternal love that lasted until she found someone hotter.

:brokenheart: 🙁 :shocked:
 
I'm seriously considering going to "bloody" England all by myself. Unless I find someone that shares my morbid curiosity, I'll probably go alone.
 
Sure! I travel to Europe on my own quite often. I have also traveled with friends but the experience wasn't as nice. When you stay at a hostel with all sorts of cool people (and hot women) the last thing you want to do is babysit your friend. Another advantage is that you can go where you want to go without compromise.
 
well, technically, i'm on day 280something of a solo vacation.

depends on where you go and where you stay. if you're just going to some resort, it'd be harder to meet people because those are places people go as couples. if you're going somewhere like europe and can put up with staying in hostels and dormitory style accomodations, i'll guarantee you'll meet tons of new people (and have a great time!)
 
I haven't and woudln't liek to unless I was by myself, meaning no one else I personally knew, but with part of a larger group. I'm not good at meeting new people unless we're all in some sort of group together.
 
sorta, i flew out to japan by myself. met up with a friend who was working most of the time. so most days i spent by myself...

it was sorta lonely, but it allowed me to do whatever the hell i wanted to
 
I sort of have. A few years back I went to New Zealand to visit a friend who was there studying abroad. For the first week I hung around with her, but the second week she had exams so instead of bothering her, I took a 1-week bus trip by myself called the "Kiwi Experience." It was pretty fun.
 
I love going on vacation by myself. You don't have to deal with anyone. I was in Amsterdam for 5 days by myself and it was one of the best weeks ever. I highly recommend getting away from people you know every once in a while.
 
I spent a week in Washington DC area by myself, visiting the sights etc.

That week was sandwhiched in between my trips there and back. (I drove it).

Really the only time I missed someone was at night when I wanted to talk about what I'd seen that day.

Overall it was fun.
