Me, myself and I

One hundred and ninety-five hours --- THAT is the maximum amount of time I am allowed to keep in my vacation day bank at work and also the amount of time I have accumulated to date.

Bottom line ---> I have to take some time off (and especially so now that its been brought to my attention that I won't be able to accumulate any more vacation time until I do).

I'm SERIOUSLY contemplating going alone...

NO friends...
NO man...
NO kids...

Just hop on an inexpensive flight to some all inclusive resort where I can JUST relax, soak up some sun, have unlimited/UNwatered down drinks, good food, hit up a spa or a few and do some shopping.

Naturally, all my "friends" that I have shared this idea with think I'm crazy and are takin' turns whoopin' and hollerin' that I am setting myself up to get killed blah...blah...friggin' blaaaaaaah.

I mean...it's not like I would be picking up and leaving without letting anyone know where I was going!!!

So...as normal, I've decided to turn to you (my blog buddies) and pose the following questions:

1. Have any of you ever gone on a vacation alone???
2. If you haven't but would, would you stick close to home?? Why or why not??
3. If you have, where have you gone and what was your "me" time like??
4. Do you think I'm crazy for coming up with such an idea??

Never been alone... and you're talking to someone who didn't take a vacay as an adult until last february. I've caught the travel bug, and I do plan on kicking out more often.

Only reason I didn't go alone is because of the cost. It's double to go alone, ain't it?

Do you, girl. If you want to go somewhere, do it. You're no Natalee Holloway. I don't see you walking off with young boys...

I plan on figuring out some spots to go alone. I hung out in the Mayan Riviera in September. All inclusive resort down there, and I wouldn't mind jumping down there alone once a year!

I would so go with you if my money wasn't funny right now!!!!

I've never been on vacay solo...I think I've seen enough movies like Taken (where people prey on single women) to turn me away from it.

BUT...I so feel you on needing to get away, even if it's by yourself! Stay local...as in...in the US. Go to Cali...check out the spas of Arizona - lots of chill spots to go to.

I would do it. i want to drive across the country, but nobody I know likes the idea. I guess I better do that before I have kids, huh?

Girl go and have FUN!
I've never gone alone but I sure would!

I would go where ever my little heart wanted to go lol. I'd just let someone know where I was and where I was staying.

HAVE FUN :)
