When I golf or shoot, that's my alone time. Enjoying an extended vacation without my wife wouldn't be fun for me although we have spent time away from each other - mostly because she's with her family somewhere else.

Stayed at the Microtel the first trip we made to the Dragon, wasn't much in Robbinsville then, had breakfast in a small place up Main St from the Microtel, called Lynns Place now.

We usually go to Franklin and stay, a little more central to the area, the Franklin Motel downtown was the place, older but clean, it's gone now as well.

I've taken solo vacations before and enjoyed them. Sometimes it's better to enjoy them with someone else. Some vacations I'll have friends meet up to go fishing......but it's definately different......sometimes you even meet a companion on your vacation to spend your vacation with!

I love to travel solo.No arguments about what to see where to go or how long to stay and I can rapidly change plans if the mood takes me.

That's the only real way to take a vacation.
I like to move at my pace and not have to wait around for other people to get motivated.

I've plenty of solo vacations both domestic and international.

Solo vacations, usually a road trip/camping trip to an area I've not been in awhile. Good to explore all those spots I was curious about but, for a variety of reasons, wasn't able to check it out.

I've done more international trips solo than with somebody. Much, much easier in terms of movement and planning, however you do miss out on being able to share in the experience with someone. Traveling abroad, depending on what you want to do and how you want to do it, you've got to plan ahead. Purchasing tickets ahead of time, securing reservations for accommodations and dining and obviously airfare/transportation.

I'm single, no children, retired and while I'm really blessed tremendously the downside is all my friends work and have wives/families so they can't just up and takeoff for 2-3 weeks so I end up going on vacation solo.

When my wife was going to Bologna 4-5 times a year for work for 2-5 weeks at a time, she had mini solo vacations every weekend traveling around Italy by train.

My solo vacations were right at home during those periods.

Seriously, I take solo ski trips.
