Hellobee Boards

Prince Edward Island in a cottage on a red sand beach ... it's so peaceful and relaxing. It's only a couple hours away from us but it feels like a whole different world. We are planning on going there this summer but now you're making me wish I was going solo!!

I'd go to a spa or yoga retreat or something like that. Something like this https://kripalu.org/stay/rr-retreats

@youboots: That's funny, because I was totally going to say Vegas! Sit by the pool, wander the casinos, read a book in a bar drinking champagne, have great dinners at the bar. I think people traveling alone are super common in Vegas, nobody would think anything of it, and there's nowhere better for people watching.

@youboots: I'm on my way home from a girls weekend in Palm Springs. Food ️ Booze ️ Spas ️ Sun ️
We come here every year and I would totally come alone as well!

I'd do Lake Louise

If I were in North America, I would go to NYC for mseums, shows, shopping, good food. I'm not a big fan of lounging around by myself through.

This sounds fun! I would probably go to a place that had some nice scenery/park areas to explore, but also had some museums.

I really liked the Outer Banks when we went a few years ago. You have some history, with the Wright Brothers Memorial, Roanoke, Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and other things like shopping, a wonderful little aquarium, and of course, the beaches.

I would also love to go back to Acadia National Park at some point. That's a neat area too.

@Lahela017: yeah! This is a good idea also. You'd need to rent a car. The Sanderling would be a lovely place to stay. It's a pretty drive down the barrier islands headed south or head north and see the wild horses! Duck is a cute town.

I'm an introvert so I would like a place I could quietly be alone and read a lot of books with endless beverages and snackies with the sound of water. So a cottage by the lake or a beach would be my pick. I'm West Coast so a lake rental in Lake Tahoe or a very quiet beachfront condo/resort in Hawaii would be my pick.

NYC for shows. My husband tolerates some of them, but on my own I could see all the shows he wouldn't be willing to see! Plus food, shopping, and I'd probably pick a hotel with a spa to spend a day getting pampered.

We're talking unlimited budget, right??? Because that trip is only possible in my dreams, ha!

I would go to Fripp Island, SC or find a spa like resort. Sounds like heaven to just hang out alone for a few days!

Hey there! I try to do this myself once per year, and I love it. In the past, I've been to Charleston (great food, lots history, walkable) and Santa Fe, NM (very pretty, lots of art, great food) . I live in NYC, so I always recommend here. Depending on when you go, maybe Montreal or Toronto? Have fun!

Oh man! I'd love to go somewhere relaxing or serene, where I can just lay by some body of water and read a book and eat some delicious, fresh local seafood.

I'm too much of an extrovert to travel somewhere totally alone! I would get bored without someone to talk to by Day 2. That said, I do have a work trip for 3 nights by myself which I'm now looking forward to because it's a day of work where I know a few people and then another day where I can half hang with friends and half be alone. So that's good enough for me. Otherwise, I was thinking of coming home a day early.

@HappyBaker: I love the Cavendish area. There's the Boardwalk, National Park, gorgeous beaches, Avonlea Village and Green Gables house (if you're an Anne of Green Gables fan).... plus it's a short drive to Charlottetown and other scenic areas.

@HappyBaker: DC is a good choice too! I used to live there, and while it has been years at this point, I would probably try to stay near DuPont Circle so that you have a cute neighborhood to explore and easy access to the metro.

@HappyBaker: I've done D.C. on my own for a work trip and it was a blast. Subways are very easy. Newseum is a paid museum but sooo good. And I went to a popular, yummy pie place. Mostly savory. I'd have to look up the name. (*Dangerously Delicious Pies). I think there is a Shake Shack by Dupont. Also I enjoyed my jaunt to window shop in Georgetown.

@Mamaof2: I was just going to say this too. I went to Maine for a solo trip last August and loved it. I love to drive and read, so I got a B&B on the coast, spent a day wandering around that small town, drove to another small town up the coast another day, did a drive to and from Acadia one day (~2 hours from where my B&B was). It was magical.

One issue with going to Vegas alone (or honestly a lot of places) is getting hit on. I'm trying to imagine reading a book by a Vegas pool and dudes are so freaking obnoxious when they see a woman traveling alone that it's hard to imagine having any peace. So I'd vote for somewhere without a lot of single people Or do it anyway but come prepared with your best "GO AWAY!" smile.
