is doing stuff alone-eating out, going to a movie, drinking, etc weird or no?
used to kind of feel bad for people flying solo but have kinda changed recently. will be going out of town solo in a few weeks and absolutely can not wait. already researching stuff i wanna do/see. places i would want to eat at, etc. maybe even bring golf clubs. four or five days of not having to have actual conversations w/ anyone. :dancin:
-
All that stuff solo is great except for golf. You will get grouped up with people you absolutely can't stand. The other stuff you can pick and choose if you want to interact with people or not and then you get to pick which people. Solo travel is the best.
-
I LOVE going to movies solo. Nobody to share my candy with. Nobody to pester me.
-
i loving rolling with Hans and have no problem doing any of the things you mentioned with him. and do quite frequently since most people bug me. Hans and I are great friends.

oh no, that sounds absolutely horrible. will not do the real golf thing then. will probably bring a couple of discs and play some disc golf though. that kind of grouping up does not happen in disc golf.
when you travel solo do you usually go all out and do a lot of stuff or just stay at the hotel and hang out? i usually just hotel it, but not this time. going to try and mix it up/get after it.

I go medium out. I won't leave the area the hotel is in but will usually pick a place in a downtown district or whatever so everything is in walking distance.
-
traveling with Hans kinda sux imo.

why? feel free to be as descriptive as possible here. really let loose.
-
much easier to travel with someone instead of trying to explain coolness of trip afterwards. too hard to explain foreign things and coolness factor.

'pends on the course. Sometimes you can get an early tee time all by your lonesome. I prefer the early tee times and usually mentioning that I like to play fast gets me on the course by my self with no strange people to bug me.

you know what is kind of a fun thing to do solo? go to a baseball game. beer, game, open space, sun, good people watching.
you know what wouldn't be a fun thing to do solo? play tennis.
-

You'd be surprised.

love to try one of those tennis ball jugs shooter things.

as someone who loved playing at the rec in those courts with a wall, i wouldn't be.

Dining alone can be dicey. You have to make sure to avoid places that have a host stand/please wait to be seated sign. If you choose to go to such a place you can't avoid having some frumpy 15 year old girl looking sadly at you as she reaches for one menu and asks you sympathetically, "just one today?" Can be rather humiliating. A solo diner can counteract this with an enthusiastic, "hell f^cking yes" but alas most people aren't capable.

fine then. scratch tennis and replace it with "i spy"
you know what wouldn't be a fun thing to do solo? play a game of i spy.

sorry but i could not care less about what a frumpy 15 yr old girl thinks of me eating alone.

Where did you go? I will critique your choices based on friendliness towards solos.

I'm at the Hilton Garden place or whatever as I type this. I walked all over downtown and finally ran into "Jazz". It said "Po Boys Chicken, Shrimp, and whatever" on the door. Had the blackened chicken and 2 bud lights.

That place is OK. It's a chain though iirc. Did you go down to the old market? Should go to Upstream (< pimp this place to everyone...they should start paying me a commission)

I met some guy on the shuttle from the airport who works for the same company as I, and he told me where the restaurants are. I got completely lost and ended up settling for Jazz. I'm getting free dinner tonight I'll let u know how it is/ where it is

you're going to be a couple of weeks early for taste of chicago. that would be fun to do solo. when i used to go to chicago solo, i'd always head down to cabrini green neighborhood. been a couple of years though. hear it's still nice.

Guess is posting this solo from the oak street beach cafe in terminal B at MIdway?
Best solo activity when traveling is hitting the hotel bar. For those of you who travel a lot you know why.
-
Wrigleyville is a great place to go solo in Chi.
Geno's East
The Aquarium is cool if you are into that.
-
done the aquarium non-solo. I think i'll be fine
-
could do the south side tour that i did a few weeks back? just hop on cicero ave and head south. it's pretty elite rolling solo on that tour.
-
I use to travel every week for work. I'd go out solo for dinner, but I always sat at the bar to eat. Tons of people do the same. Get a bite to eat and watch whatever is on ESPN.

SD, I eat at Upsteam brewery....pretty damn goooooood

Traveling solo gets kinda boring. I mean it's not bad, but it's more fun if you meet up with somebody. Try the erotic services section of craigslist before you go.
Eating, movies, drinking solo=fun, no annoying people to negotiate with about when, where, how, etc.
-
Took a solo vacation out to Colorado when I lived in Hays. It was absolutely great. Just getting out into the mountains and doing whatever the hell I wanted to. Always have had family, friends or woman on other trips. Was able to get up early and hike for however long I wanted, travel where I wanted, went whitewater rafting just for myself. Ahhh, those few blissful single years with money gone like the wind. :'(

I never understood people who can't eat alone. Did this all the time in high school, when I got to college people were like WTF? If I want some dam chipotle I'm gonna go get some chipolte, I'm not gonna call up 5 different people and see if they are hungry.

Going to belgium for work next month. Need some elite spots to visit.

I'm solo'ing it in Seattle for 2 weeks. People here piss me off. It's in the 80's, and they are bitching about a heatwave. F off, guy.
I keep thinking about going to the hottub/swimming pool area (indoors) but not sure about germs. ?

I swear it was exactly like Little Apple Brewery because they had expensive ass steaks and their own varieties of beer, which were excelent
-
update: didn't get much solo time. kind of sucked. also had to work late a lot, which also sucked. almost went by trims place on my wedding anniversary but was too tired.
-
I LOVE going to movies solo. Nobody to share my candy with. Nobody to pester me.
I would never be able to do this. I'd be too nervous thinking that I'd see somebody that I know.

nashville :frown:
kinda messed up but the tradeoff is that i don't have to do anything/go to classes if i don't want. could really check in and then never show up again. kinda makes up for the lame place i guess.

I meant I didn't have to check in or do anything. I did check into the one in Hawaii but nothing else. Didn't even get my welcome package in vegas.
