Well...DH and I had already gone to WDW four times together. He was sick of it, and I was obsessed with it. He just flatly refused to go anymore. Actually he doesn't like to vacation anywhere !
I tried to get a group of women to go, but my plans fell apart. Either someone now could not afford it, or they didn't have enough vacation time or etc.etc.
Then I got this wild idea ! Why not go by myself !? Most people thought I was crazy. I've now had 4 solo trips, each for 6 nights. I call my DH every night to say goodnight. My only children are 2 cats, and I miss them, but I've learned to be more independant, and more out-going. My DH and I have a bit of an age difference, he's been retired for a while, and I'm still working. He doesn't *Need* a vacation, but I do.
When I eat dinner solo, I just look at my park map, or take notes with my tiny notebook. I'm comfortable gabbing to the CM's or to the people in line. I
*treasure* my solitude in my room at night. I do all the rides and attractions that I want - when I want to do them. I always attend
MVMCP, which DH had refused to do before.
