Solo vacations. Do you do them?

I’m taking my second solo trip to Big Bend next month. Can’t wait. Wife hates long car rides. I love them, especially in remote and barren places.
Some people cannot stand to be alone. I am an only child so it’s pretty much my natural state. I love traveling alone. I don’t go many places without the missus (no pics) but she gives me the periodic yard pas.

Not sure if it counts...but when I travel internationally for work, I will generally add a few days on for me to explore (sometimes domestically). Always nice being able to do exactly what you want to do, when you want to do it.
But I don't believe I've ever done a true solo vacation.

I took a four day solo vacation to the Smoky Mountains just to sleep for a few days. It was glorious. Best vacay ever.

When the in-laws come to stay for two weeks. Have to travel “on business” and pick a nice city.

I’m going to Roatan the first week of November solo. My wife doesn’t like to dive as much as I do, so I’m taking a trip with my dive shop.

About 14 years ago, I took a solo trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona. I really enjoyed it, and it was freeing not having to worry about anyone but myself.

Done a couple of weeks in Japan, a week in Hawaii, a couple of weeks in Germany, in addition to a bunch of tagged on couple of weekdays to business trips.
Her work requires her to mind the store more than does mine.

I thought I was the only one that did this. If there is a meeting in Tokyo on Tuesday, you bet your arse I'm landing Thursday afternoon to spend a long weekend doing my thing.
Even before I got married, solo vacations were the thing. Great for exploring destinations of all sorts.

I like traveling alone. Less complicated.

I haven’t yet but I’ve been seriously considering it. I like the idea of how much easier traveling alone would be as well as the freedom to do whatever activities I want.

Just returned from a two-week Midwest trip.Watching the sunrise while driving, stopping for odd places or things, staying off the interstate and seeing small towns, and stopping early to enjoy the evening after a slow paced day. Definitely recharged the batteries. Satellite radio is worth every penny.

Sorta, I hunt alone, I'll go home to KY and ride my ATV in the mountains alone. I like being in nature. But I wouldn't go to NYC alone.

I would love to.
But my wife always wants to come with me to prevent me from doing fun things and eating at nice restaurants.

Never really wanted to travel alone, but sometimes I wish I hunted. The thought of a few hours alone in the woods on a crisp morning sounds great. Once I get a new boat I'll be able to get out during the week for some solo fishing trips

Not often, but occansionally.
My hobby is photography and Mrs Slings isn't really into it.
So I take photography tips to national parks in the US.
Went to Abruzzo Italy a few years ago.
Mostly, me and the wife travel together.
