On the road

I think that sounds fantastic! And very brave.

Grannya it sounds like such a lovely, if exhausting, adventure for you! Your poor DH though, it seems a nightmare for him, especially factoring in all the stress of driving Hope that at least he's very well paid to help compensate!

I have had some great trips whilst accompanying DH on business at home and abroad. I'm quite happy with my own company so enjoyed visiting and sightseeing various places then meeting up with DH in the evening.

DH hates being away from home and once the girls had left home I jumped at the chance to travel with him. Win, win for us both.

I am not a lone traveller. I have to be taken everywhere.

That sounds like heaven to me. Lucky you.

Appeals to me too, never a dull moment .

I have no qualms about travelling alone. I'm curious to know how many of you don't/won't travel alone.

I travel a fair bit on my own and like being my own boss doing what I like when I like and having a whole hotel room to myself. That said I've just been to Chorley for a family do and whilst I'm enjoying some time on my own whilst DH goes to visit some family haunts we've also done some things together such as visit Astley Hall which I can highly recommend.

I've travelled all over on the world on my own for business and a friend and I have just come back from a two week tour of Vietnam and Cambodia. Admittedly, we were with a group, but we were responsible for ourselves and proved to be far more adventurous than most of the couples when it came to using our free time, Especially in the evenings. We relished being able to do what we wanted, when we wanted and took full advantage of the spa facilities in the hotels, Something I would never have done if I was with my husband.

I used to travel worldwide in my job, away from home anything from a day or two to several weeks, usually at very short notice.
When you are away from home on your own there is not much to do other than work. If I went somewhere new for a while, I would try to get a weekend free to explore.
Traveling can sound exiting, but you get to see the inside of a lot of airports and hotel rooms.
On my most intense trip, I left Heathrow monday morning and returned Friday, having been to our offices in Singapore, Sydney and Hong Kong. No time for sight seeing on that trip.
Travelling alone never bothered me much, never had any serious problems, apart from being arrested by airport police at Stansted, but that's another story.

Oh,pompa you can't mention "arrested by airport police" and not elaborate!! Do tell, I'm afraid I'm nosy

Come on Pompa - spill the beans.
We finally arrived home last night having called in on our sons on the way home yesterday, and I have to say it's bliss to be home and in my own bed again.

Not very exciting. I was at Stansted and got off the train at the wrong terminal. I was late for my flight so I was panicking a bit. All I needed to do was get back on the train to get to the next terminal. But I could not find anyway to get back to the train. I went down an escalator that appeared to head in the right direction, but no the way was barred with locked doors, after a bit of wandering around I found an unlocked door that looked promising. OOPS , I was now looking at the back end of a jet, I was on the tarmac ! and the door I had come through only opened outwards. Before I had much time to think about what to do, our boys in blue came along blues and twos going, informed me that I was definitely not supposed to be where I was and bundled me (politely) into the back of the car. Once they had check my credentials they said that they got several idiots (my words, not theirs) like me every day and duly ferried me to the correct terminal in time for my flight. Just shows how easily a terrorist could get onto the tarmac and the planes. Stiff drink on the plane was called for, even at 8am.

Thanks pompa
