Holidaying alone

Hi all - ages since I logged onto the site. Bet you all thought I'd gone to Malta and then got lost .
Truth is I took all of your advice and as a result had an okay time.
I caught the bus from the airport, buying a weekly ticket, which served me for additional travel whilst I was there.
It was 20c on the day of arrival - it dipped to around 15c on other days and there were a couple of brief spells of rain but too brief to bother about.
I took a loaded TravelCard but didn't spend much money so I came back with nearly as much on the card.
At the hotel the food was plentiful and there were several Brits on their own. One man started a conversation with me and he became the person with whom I had a chat with most evenings. (He did give me his address and phone details but he isn't my type - too much whiskey imbibing - that is what I walked away from in my marriage).
I had a real sense of achievement (and a bit of a sun tan) when I returned home. I'd like to go back again, as I know there is plenty more to see there.
Have been busy with events and stuff since returning, so I apologise for the delay in posting.
Thank you for your guidance - it certainly helped me.

Whoop whoop..... wonderful to hear from you and that all went well. Your first toe dip.....
Thank's for coming back and telling us..... it's likely that this may be encouraging for others.

Now you can confidently plan your next trip

Well done! Good to hear you enjoyed yourself, here's to the next trip

Glad you had a good time and now you have taken the plunge I hope you will have many more happy holidays.

Lots of good information and brave GN's on this thread. Thanks. All I need to find now is the courage to "go it alone"
