Vacationing While Single
Remember Club Med? I pictured it as city folk in grass skirts doing a lousy rendition of the hula, though it was one way to vacation alone. What’s the alternative when you’re single, not interested in going solo to a foreign land (like me) and most everyone in your circle is married? When my close friend, Miguel, booked an Italian trip for May, I wondered if I should meet up with him, and take my first real vacation in years. Miguel and I are travel-tested. We’ve been to Asia and Europe together, and share a modest appetite for sightseeing, and a hardy one for café life, shopping and good food. I fussed about the money, but what an opportunity. I’M GOING TO ROME!

Wow,I love your art: “Reaching”.As you can see by my screen name I believe in always reaching. I bought a frame last night which has this etched around the edges: Shoot for the moon, at least if you miss you’ll land among the stars”…..
good for you taking your trip… I applaud you… since my divorce 9 years ago I am always reaching, searching, looking, trying to fill a void by doing so many things and yet there is still a hole, a void, call it what you will…maybe someday it won’t be so empty… enjoy that trip….
Enjoy! Having a friend to travel with really helps. My usual suspects for travel companions have not been available the last two years and now I don’t seem to enjoy travelling alone like I used to.
Cheers!
you deserve a vacation and your blog is delightful! thank you for shout-out.
