Do you think a woman going abroad on holidays alone is.... (66)
Tell the family to get stuffed and just do it lol
I have holidayed on my own and have always enjoyed it, no one else to please but myself, sleep when I want, eat when I want.
I have always met some great people to.
Just take the same care you would here when alone and you will be fine.

wexlady41: I love going on holidays. I have considered going away on my own (if I can afford it). Was thinking of somewhere like Santa Ponsa as I've been there, liked it and think it is a relatively safe option (for my first lone venture).
My family are disgusted with me (nothing unusual there) and tell me to get a grip. They say that it's "just wrong" for me to consider a holiday alone.
So...as I am single and my kids are grown up... am I now supposed to just give up going on holidays? What do you think?

its difficult to say, theres different types of holidays, i did this once myself and to be honest it wasnt such an enjoyable experience. i think if i did it again i'd go on an activities holiday, that way things are set up for you and you'll get to know people naturally as you see them every day

Good point. I like to do day trips and see a bit of wherever I'm visiting. I think this would be easier on my own as I wouldn't have to consider if anyone else wanted to do the same.

I agree. C, If you don't mind me saying so, I think your family are being a bit judgemental. You're a grown woman and can make your own decisions. As long as you are safe, happy and enjoy yourself, they should be happy for you. Everyone needs a break now and again so why not go and enjoy yourself....JMO.

C. life is 2 short 2 be putting off things you want to do.Especially as there are so many beautiful places out there to see, and if you wait for people to come to your way of thinking you may never get to see them
I go off all the time last yr although i had 2 small kids with me that usually disappears, anyway i met some lovely people and had a great laugh with them.
I have always met people travelling on their own and enjoying themselves
Go for it girl wot you got 2 lose ?????

I dont think single women are allowed on planes anymore as apparantly the kitchen sink around their ankles takes up too much aisle space 
No thats Married women isnt it 
Guess you can go then and get to enjoy a bit of warmer weather with avenues of palm trees and cheap nights out.....you never know you could meet a nice guy out there as a lot of people disilusioned with the cold weather head off to warmer climates ...please Catch a millionaire though and not a 20 year old morrocan boy that loves you and wants to marry you ...

Check out this on the Intl forums, might be worth thinking about it.
I have often thought about going away on my own, but wondered how do I put sunscreen on my back if I have no-one with me.
I was at the Sea Pearl hotel in Kusadasi in 2007, it was an Irish only hotel. I don't know if it was a factor but everyone was very friendly, we got to know about 8 others of different ages, circumstances and we often went out together for dinner and excursions.
But in general everyone chatted with whoever was near them at the pool or at the bar. It was one of my favourite holidays.

Get out there and go for it and stop worrying what people think including your family. This is your life, the one and only and not a dress rehersal. So get yourself out there girl and take a few risks.

well Clo how could you even think of doing such a thing
heeheheh only kidding...
dont let anyone stop you from doing somthing that you want to do.. If I had the money ild go somewhere myself and it wouldnt bother me in the slightest that I was on my own.. If you do choose to go to Santa Ponsa which i think is wise choosing somewhere that you have already been for your fist venture as you know the places to go and not go..
If you like to do the excursions I would suggest you do them with your tour rep.. I know there are excursions run by locals and they are cheaper than your reps but its better to go with a reputable company....
and sure look at everyone travelling to Australia and everywhere..they are doing it by themselves
So go and have a blast of a time and get a great tan and take loads of photos for us

Hiya C
I went off on Holidays on my own in 2008. Went to Cyprus..never having been there..Hired a Jeep and went all over the joint.
Took a day trip to Egypt...
Had a fantastic time and met some Brilliant people along the way..People were really nice to me..A few English girls invited me to dinner one evening..we had a great night.
Would totally recommend it.
