Re: Holiday / Vacation Ideas for Singles?
Post 7
Among the many places I have visited on my own are Los Angeles & N.Y., Caracas, Tunisia (x 2), Morocco (x 3), Crete, Cyprus (x 3), Spain (x2), France, Hong Kong (x 2), Singapore (x 4) and Sydney.
Among my group travels, I can quote, the USSR, Romania (x 2), the former Czechoslavia, Lebanon, Jordan, the Holy Land (x2), Syria, and Iran – but I avoid group arrangements with a go-go-go programme. I opt for comfortable but reasonably priced hotels with a swimming-pool and some evening entertainment in a district where there are restaurants and other amenities nearby.
And as Denisa says, you can meet up with compatiblefolk for the duration of your holiday as well as others with whom you stay in touch for quite some time afterwards.
However, I always take plenty of reading material, just in case. And I ask the hotel reception staff for tips on where to go and what to see, and then check their suggestions and prices with local travel agents.
One word of warning: avoid the high season and school holiday periods, especially in the autumn – retirees trying vainly to keep their darling grnadchildren in check.
Hope this helps, and happy hols,
