My son is now living with me and we are off to Disneyworld, Florida next week. I promised both of my kids a holiday treat after Keef died. I took my daughter and grandkids away to Disneyland Paris last October as well. It’s nice to have someone to go with, but I’ve also really enjoyed the trips I have done on my own, even though I was very apprehensive. However, having done solo trips a couple of times I’ve got hooked as it’s so nice to have someone else looking after you again when on holiday, rather than having to organise everything yourself.

Look at Newmarket solo holidays they have some good ones. You fly then are with a coach the rest of the holiday. Similar idea to leger but fly to your destination. Where are you going next year? I’ve looked at maybe a Rovinj or Venice for my 2026 break with Leger or Sicilly with New Market
I’m doing the Venice one with Leger in 2026, departs 15th August. It’s also visiting the Dolomites and includes a wine-tasting event. It’s a bit more pricey than previous ones I’ve done but since I will have completed my Open University studies that Summer I decided to treat myself. I go on the solo coach holidays as I don’t really like flying much, mind you I’m off to Florida with my son on Wednesday but I just don’t think I could fly on my own. Gail xx
The Venice one looks good, i need to get this one done 1st, im already on the christmas matket one, i think its the one you are doing then decide on next year. So many to pick from.

I’m 8 weeks into losing my husband, and it is difficult trying to think about doing things like holidays on your own, it’s going to be a completely different life without him, I feel swallowed up in grief, I try to keep busy, I have a business to run and 3 dogs that need me, but life is very different now, stay strong and know that we all know how you are feeling
Just done my first solo trip. I must admit just before I felt sick and anxious about going - and wished I hadn’t booked.
I went to somewhere I know well, and somewhere we’d been together. It did break my heart all over again - remembering our times together. I went to some restaurants we’d been to, and some new ones too.
The start and end of the days by myself were no different to home - tears, heartache and loneliness. But I did find a sense of calm.
I didn’t engage much in conversation with others - didn’t want anyone to ask about my story.
Overall I am pleased that I went. We both loved our holidays. And I think he would be pleased that I wasn’t missing out.

@Punto good that you have managed to get away too. Holidays are very different for sure x
Home last night at 10pm, i was up early as I had an appointment to get a scan and some tests on my eyes this morning
I will definitely recommend Leger Solo holidays, lots of widows and widowers on the trip and all wanting to move on and enjoy life and meet new people to laugh with.

I totally agree. Having now been on two I found that the people on both tours were so easy to get on with and I have managed to keep in touch with some of them.

No single supplement if you book solo only holidays with Leger and shearings
