Solo holidays

Two other widows and me went to the arboretum today together.

I have been looking at different breaks, but they are so expensive.

I was looking at a mini break on the Voyage Prive site who we’ve used many times in the past… but you’re still paying for 2 and they don’t do single supplements :confused:

Yes difficult to find affordable safe breaks

Currently sitting on a liveaboard in the Red Sea, without N.
Holiday on my own for the first time in 15 years…and I’m missing him so much!

Even solo holidays are expensive. A lady on another site said she has booked with Majestic holiday’s they do some with no single supplement. Might be worth looking at, ive not seen what or where they go.

Thank you, I’ll check them out

Yes expensive and likely getting more so. Years ago I used to go with Mercury Direct as there was no single supplement in low season.

@S_Diva Oh, I love the Red Sea! Fantastic snorkeling, I can do it for hours (although I’m rubbish at swimming!). I hope you manage to relax and enjoy your holiday although it will be a different one. :fish: :tropical_fish: :blowfish:

Youre very brave. Try find someone to talk to if you can … it will help take that lonely feeling away xxx

I talk to him the whole time when holidaying alone - feeling him beside me helps so much!

Yes so do I talk to him in my mind.

So do I, except I do it out loud, as long as nobody else is around.

Can’t say love solo holidays. Got their challenge. Like when you feel lonely.
Isn’t much fun sitting on in your own in some places.
Can have too much time like that.
Like own company some of time but not all time. Not a day out but today really missed sitting with my late husband at a talk where everyone was ignoring me and in cliques. At least liked him to talk to when he was alive

Holiday these day is merely an escapism from being alone in the house, especially on anniversaries! Hope to be able to enjoy again one day :crossed_fingers: :crossed_fingers:

Is nice to get away and do something different, I hope that once my chemotherapy and radiotherapy ends next year I will get away again. Its hard dealing with an illness on your own so a holiday gives me smething to aim for.

I hope its not too gruelling for you @Punto, and that you’ve friends and family to help you.
When i lost Jimmy last year ihad a few bad anxiety episodes being so sick … that was hard enough to go through on my own so i hope you’re ok and have the support you need x

I have a support network to help if I need it. Its not the same as having your husband though and I try not to let the kids know if im not feeling well as they don’t all live near me.
