Aggie21, I wondered have you taken the plunge. I’ve been toying with the idea of going alone and understand fully all your reservations. I don’t know where you live in the country, where I do, there’s a pick up point for coach holidays and short breaks, say 4/5 days might be a good start. Try to go somewhere you didn’t with your other half, that helps. You have to be prepared, look the area before hand and decide where you would like to visit, get a plan just in case you are alone, odds are you will find lovely people, just like you, on their own to after years in a relationship.
If you go abroad, make sure there is a rep in the hotel just in case. There are brave soles that do it all independently but I couldn’t.It would have to be a package.
I still have lots of moments when I see or hear something I would like to share with my husband, I do it in my head.
The trouble is after Covid these holiday for solo traveller have almost doubled in price, it’s out of reach for many. If so I would say start with a few day trips in these longer days.
Let us know how you are.
