traveling alone itwillgetbetter: I just made reservations for my first vacation without my husband. Seems very strange. I am a bit nervous too and I feel lonely. I feel like it is just me and my dog which for now is not a bad thing. I do however, look forward to the day when I can vacation with a significant other.
I can relate to the other thread about the trip to the hospital by yourself. Hey you made it---pat yourself on the back!!
Re: traveling alone pisces_goddess: You go girl!!! Enjoy that vacation.. you deserve it!!! Let us know how it goes!!! Try not to waste the precious time wishing he was with you.. Take the time to just appreciate being with YOU!!!!
Happy Trails ;D
Re: traveling alone itwillgetbetter: Interesting how you say don't waste time wishing he was with me because I think that all the time----4th of July weekend, going to dinner with friends; parties etc.....
but then afterwards I usually think I would have been stressed out if he was with me. I would have been too worried wondering if he was having a good time. I never wonder about the dog, she is always having a good time.
Re: traveling alone hurtingverymuch: Hey, hope you have a fantastic time! As Pisces said, concentrate and have fun being with you and make some great new memories for yourself. ;D
I, too, have planned a small trip (just 2 days mind you) up in the mountains with just me and my son, do some horseback riding, canoeing, stuff like that. This will be my first trip without my s2bx in ... frick, forever ...
Little nervous too, but actually looking forward to it. I think it will be good for me to start creating some brand new memories for myself of my son and I. I'm hoping it will help the healing process along a little too! I'm also hoping that he will have a good time too.
Again, hope you have a great time and let us know how it goes.
Hugs!
Hurt ;D
Re: traveling alone grober: Hey,
I just took my own first solo "vacation" (only a weekend). It was a bit weird. I can relate to the feelings you described. I was nervous about being in a strange town on my own. I planned well, so I had an intenerary of things to do. Still, not sharing the trip with someone was definitely different.
Still, it was very interesting. I saw things that I wanted to see. I didn't have to worry about anyone else's time table or agenda. It was... well... liberating. I thought the meals were the strangest part at first. I am a "social diner", so not having someone to chat with during the meals was the hardest part.
For the most part, I enjoyed myself much more than I thought I would. I'd suggest researching things you'd want to do before you leave. You know, little adventures. If you find something else more interesting when you arrive, do it instead. That way, if you always have something to do (but don't HAVE to do) if you don't feel like relaxing.
Good luck and have fun!!!
:)
