Raise your hand if you like going SOLO to Negril ....

[mavmaiden]

I've traveled solo all over the U.S. and absolutely love it. I do what I want, eat what I want, sleep when I want, read, hike, and chill. I will travel to Negril for the first time in December. I'll be solo for 9 days and have my best friend with me for 4 days (she's coming to help me celebrate my birthday). I'm hoping I'll enjoy being solo in Negril but won't know until I try!! I'm bringing two books and plan on watching the waves roll in as I sip rum punch and people watch...every...day...of...my...trip. I can't see how I can go wrong...

Love seeing the honest replies. I honestly think if my wife couldn't go with me I wouldn't go. Couldn't stand the thought of going without her.

Thanks davevols! I almost always take my UT cap and wear it in Jamaica. Maybe we'll cross paths someday.....here, or in Negril!

[mavmaiden]

Heehee. You threw me off with your mention of a "UT cap." I also have a "UT cap"--- only it's a different hue of orange!

I have been to the campus of the University of Tennessee. It's beautiful.

i have gone solo several times, went with my now ex, gone with a few different girlfriends. went with another couple and my now ex and for for the last 18 years have gone with my fantastic wife. the worst is going with another couple because then you do have to take into consideration what they might want to do, going solo was great and it's always easy to find girlfriends for the evening if you have an interest. by far though the best is going with the love of my life.every so often i have to do something that perhaps would not be my first choice but the romance we share together in that atmosphere is amazing.

[gregandkelly63]

Sorry mavmaiden! Didn't mean to confuse anyone. I meant the REAL UT!

Looks like we are going to have to have a meet and greet of Tennessee lovers of Negril!

I've never travelled solo, and hope I never have to. I'm with gregandkelly63 - I can't imagine going without the love of my life

I'm with both of you! Just can't imagine travelling to Negril without Zee. We've been together 33 years and married 30 of them and we travel well together. We do most things together because we want to but have no trouble persuing our own interests either. Hardly ever any pressure one way or the other.

Peace

I SO understand how you feel! I love my sisters and have a large group of female friends that I enjoy spending time with, but I usually end up being the planner, or center of activity. I spend a lot of time with all of them, and therefore love it when I get a chance at some me time!

And, as for those who have partners or significant others, I totally agree. I'm single now but I was married for 12 years and loved traveling with my partner and enjoying all those special moments together. There's nothing like it. When you have these wonderful experiences, it's so nice to share them with someone you love. Maybe someday I'll walk that road again and that would be great. But, for now...this upcoming trip will be all about me....
Mi time a soon come!
