Any thoughts on a Hawaii solo trip?
I attended a work conference in Honolulu and stayed a few days after the conference to explore and play golf. I had a blast. Paired me up with some funny Koreans on the golf course and some other ex-Cali guys.
Btw, I've taken numerous trips to Vegas alone. It's the only way to do Vegas.

I've been to some of the exact same places by myself and with family at different times. Hawaii, Washington D.C., San Francisco, New Orleans, Miami, and St. Louis are a few examples.
I like the National Parks and Washington D.C. recommendations, but really pretty much anything outside a purely family oriented venue is going to be good; we're eclectic as a society so you can feel at home solo just about anywhere.
Just think of it as a way to supplement your family trips and what I usually do is try and do things that I like to do but would not get to do if it was a family trip. I usually do a lot of walking or biking that I'm not going to do if it was a family vacation. Or engage in an activity like fishing which I'm not going to get to do on a family trip. Basically enjoy the freedom you have to decide to do what it is you want to do and believe me people aren't going to pay much attention as to why you are traveling alone: There will be many people traveling who will be just like you.
The main thing I've noticed when traveling alone is I'll go on the cheap and eat cheap and stay at cheap places that I'd never do with family. That way you can save your money to explore the sites and spend it on other things relating to your trip.

Vegas is a great base for a solo road trip. Usually cheap flights and car rentals.
One trip I really liked was to fly into Vegas, bought a tent and a few supplies at Walmart, and then camped in Death Valley the first night (Scotties Castle is worth a visit there). This was in the fall so not too hot. Then on to a campground at the base of Mt. Whitney. Very scenic area, they've filmed over 100 westerns in the Alabama hills below Mt. Whitney. Then up the Owens Valley (lots of campgrounds possible) to Mammoth Lakes/Devil's Postpile, then Mono Lake, then over Tioga Pass into Yosemite. That's why this is a great fall trip, Tioga is still open, the tourists aren't so thick in Yosemite, and Death Valley isn't too hot to camp.
There are a lot of possible road trips like this. Utah is great (and Zion isn't far from Vegas but is crowded year round now). Utah has plenty of great places that aren't crowded - Capitol Reef in particular.
