OK, since none of the poor, tired folks on this board have ever gotten to vacation alone, how about trying something else?

Here is your fantasy Christmas gift to yourself - If there were NO LIMITS on vacation possibilities (care providers for the kids are there, DH can find food and laundry in the appropriate places, you have all the money you want), where would YOU go by yourself for a week alone? What time of year? What would you do there (other than sleep, sleep, sleep, and maybe get a massage, or have the Chippendale guys give you a massage while you napped)?

C'mon, we all need a little escape before/during the holidays, I know you can come up with something exciting/relaxing/fantasy-laden! So, 'fess up!

Just so no one is feeling uncomfortable, I'll start the string:

Kim would be spending her week at Cape Hatteras, renting a house on the beach. She would have access to all the books she may ever want to read, all the films she may ever want to watch, and all the great wine she might ever feel the urge to sip. Time of year - mid-August, just before the stormy weather season hits, but after most of the tourists perish from the heat. Oh yeah, and the east coast surfing competition will be going on, so I can oogle suntanned guys in surfer trunks.....aaahhhh.....

Well? Who is next?

I first thought I probably couldn't have a good time by myself... but I bet I could. I would like to visit rome or paris, and paint outdoor scenes. Otherwise I would opt for something like volunteer at Brad Pitt's organization and help there in New Orleans for a week.
Wow, you really got me thinking......

I'd rent a fancy house on Flathead Lake and pretend like I live there. Go for hikes in Glacier Park. And yes, sleep, sleep, sleep. No alarm clock. Lots of books and somebody cooking good food for me.

get a cool tall drink, the most delicious chocolate with hazelnuts, a super puffy comfortable recliner, get your cat on your lap, get one your rich kids to buy you a 50" TV to be paid in 3 years :) get into Google Earth and travel in comfort without leaving your recliner...I have been in Paris, Rome, Russia, Hong Kong, New Zeland, Antartic, Greenland, Caribbean, Panama, Brasil, Peru, tiny islands lost somewhere in the Pacific, Hawaii, their volcanoes....reading their history...went to the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, etc.....

I would go to a wilderness cabin with my good friends from college and spend the week sleeping, hiking, reading trashy romance novels, eating, sipping on frozen drinks and cold beer, and talking!!
