How to take a vacation by myself.
It made me 
"sometimes it is nice to relax on a vacation without anyone's schedule and ideas but your own"
How I did it: I've gone to Las Vegas, Utah and New Mexico by myself. I booked the trips using online travel sites (different trips at different times). Try to be safe, esp in cities...get a cab if you think the roads are shady at night, etc. Talk to people! In places like Utah, you can usually find families or other singles to hike with in Nat'l parks, etc. Just relax, and enjoy the time to yourself. I first traveled alone 3 years after I was divorced because I was sick of not taking a vacation if I wasn't involved with someone, or if my friends didn't wish to go where I wanted to go, or when I wanted to go. You end up meeting people when you travel alone, trust me!
