My wife gets 3 wks vacation/yr while I get about 7 wks total. I always tell her to call in sick 
so we can travel more but she always balk at that Idea. She keeps telling me that I should just fly and travel somewhere myself, but instead I just take a staycation and bum around the house b/c I have no idea where I should go.
I won't have the... I'm alone b/c on business mentality/ excuse" ...So any recommended destinations/ resort to travel alone and not feel like a loser or stick out like a sore thumb? Thx.

Asia. Especially Indonesia. So huge and time consuming.

A ski vacation would be pretty nice alone because you can always make friends on the slopes, maybe denver colorado or vermont/new hampshire? How about vegas to gamble and drink enough for a years worth in one weekend? A beach is always nice as well to just fall asleep and get away from it all

Do you have a favorite sports team? MLB? NFL? You could travel around and watch them in a few of the better venues while taking an extra day or two around the local area/city.

What about a trip to Africa to see the great migration?

Are you an adventure person or a beach bum type of person? Where have you traveled and enjoyed or disliked?

Any hobbies - fishing, hunting, hiking?

I do a lot of solo travel. It's great!!
I've been to Costa Rica alone. I highly recommend it. I hired a personal driver (cheaper than a rental car and WAY safer) and went to arenal, Guanacaste And Manuel Antonio. Missed out on on Limon. It was an amazing trip and my driver is also a guide and new all of the local places to go to.
I just got back from a Germany and Austria solo trip. Thats probably not for everyone, but I highly enjoyed it.
Alberta Canada is another recommendation. That's a long involved post though. If you're not interested in Alberta then I won't burden you with details.

Thailand, I did it while working in Singapore and it was the best vacation of my life, and for some of the reasons you can figure out yourself

The Boston area is good for sightseeing including Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard and and you can head up to Arcadia NP in Maine.
I've done the Quebec City area by myself, pretty fun. It's efficient to be the only one you have to satisfy. Toronto, Montreal & Vancouver are interesting places as well and walkable.
I second DC, the Smithsonian and all the other museums are cool as well as the historic sites around "our nation's capitol".
I've also done Civil War battlefields by myself, that was good.

Contingent upon you liking snow and knowing how to ski, I think skiing alone would be great. Can relax and not worry about keeping up/keeping track of skiers you'd typically be traveling with. I hate having to stop when skiing to try to communicate with people on what trail we're taking next, etc.
Can sightsee and hike there too, along with other excursions.

I enjoy going on vacation alone. Do what I want, how I want and when I want. No need to feel out of place. I think you'll be surprised at how many are on a trip solo

I was thinking of some others reading through the thread
-Chicago is pretty fun and I go all the time by myself for a few days (even though I know quite a few people living there), still enjoyable regardless. Just walking around the city is good enough for me.
-Colorado (even outside Denver) is neat. I enjoy the hikes in the mountains.

Take a look at Road Scholar, they do tours all over the world and often the travelers are doing it solo. They also tend to be older so not sure whether that is a plus or minus for you. I'm planning to take a few trips with them in a couple of years when I've got the time.
