How did you get the dogs and cat back into England without the six months quarantine? I travel by myself a lot but have to leave my dog behind with my sister's family.

Yup, I went to Costa Rica by myself for almost three weeks NOV 2011. Did a lot of research about countries that would be safe for a woman travelling alone. (including checking out the state dept travel warnings) researched and reserved various places I would be staying, and met some nice people. also single and travelling alone, albeit not too many. Did what I want when I wanted and it was invigorating and made me feel confident and interested in my surroundings. But I would suggest checking and chatting with the locals that work at your hotel to see where is considered places you do not want to venture to alone. Although I rented my own car I did go on a couple of private tours with a couple of gals I met and we split the costs for the driver.
Wow! Very interesting!

I went to club med turks, in the Caribbean. Most resorts are double occupancy so you pay for 2 even if your alone. But club med had a single rate. I work for the airlines, so got a space available rate on American out of Miami. A seven day all inclusive, all food, drinks, tips total was about 800.00 dollars very nice but would be better with someone else. Want to go on a cruise on royal Caribbean, " alure" for a week around the first 2 weeks of December, anyone interested? Michael

I will let you you know how the Allure is because I'm booked for October 6 cruise I'm pretty sure is the same as the Oasis, The Oasis was wonderful. The buffet at 6:15 is the best. I hardly went to dinner seating, I enjoyed the buffet much better

I traveled to Britain around 10 years ago, and plan to do so again by myself probably in April.
I found that being by myself made me more approachable by the locals that if I were in a tour group. Just seemed to make the experience more rewarding.

Yes, I love to travel and it would be great to have someone to share it with, but I had a great time going alone to Sedona, Az, the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Las Vegas. I did it all on my Harley and camped out with a tent from REI. I rode over the bridge at the Boulder Dam and saw some fantastic sights. Rode 2300 miles. What a blast!

I love going on holiday as a single person. I spent more than a year exploring mainland Europe in a Van fitted out with a bed, cooker, fridge and loo. It was brilliant. I went where I wanted, when I wanted and at the speed I wanted.... not particularly fast!
I wasn't actually alone tho'.... I must confess.....
I had two big dogs and a cat wiv me! They loved it, cos once I had their passports in hand we were free to get out of the UK without the fear of a six month Rabies Quarentine.
We avoided cities and coasts, pretty much and went to lakes, rivers and mountains... my animals were free to BE ANIMALS for the first time in their lives and I had no problems wiv security cos my dogs guard me with their lives - and they took their job very seriously. I slept every hot night with the doors wide open... no fears, cos Rasta and Ben had bigger better ears and teeth than I will ever have!
We had a fabulous time... but it had to end and we had to return to good ole Blightie! Damn!
Still, we can always go again! Ben went to look after God on 14th April (God's THAT lucky) and I recently got a Siberian Husky b*tch called Keslin to keep Rasta company. He loves her but at 13 years of age, he is finding training her a little tiring! She is fiesty and funny... Pearlie the cat has had to give her a slap or two but is winning respect!
When she has her rabies jabs sorted.... we'll take her travelling with us!
I couldn't recommend it to you more!
xx This sounds great! So did you buy the van in Europe? The cops questioned me when I pulled over by a mountain lake to rest my eyes. He shined the flashlight in my eyes during the questioning. I got a migraine. And I told him that. He let me stay there. Some nosy person above the lake didn't want anyone else to enjoy the lake.
Yes, I've traveled from CA to VA alone. Total strangers were nicer than family. who knows if there was another motive, but I left b4 it happened. Idk if I'd recommend it. Glad it happened. And yes you'd have to be a bit at times

I do random short or long travels by myself all the time... Since i live in new mexico now, i drive to "truth or consequences" for hot springs a lot... with or without a companion... when i lived in bigger cities, i would take random trip in trains or just get in my car and drive 3-4 hours to nearest beach towatch sunrise... and when lived in asia, i used to country hop... on long weekends, randomly call a travel agency to book flights and off i go... i love traveling rather i travel with someone or by myself...
Lots times, i also enjoy going to movies or a nice expensive restaurants by myself... just because i want to treat myself... put on some rarely used make-up and put on a beautiful outfit and feel gorgeous... sometimes enjoying a good movie or a nice meal without having to put up with catering to someone else feels nice...

Yes. Most of the world. I am not sure what place I liked the most. In the UK it was Leeds (because I walked out a door and was looking the wrong direction and sort of folded on to the top of someone's car and they bought me lunch). Greece was pretty awesome then (Athens) I would go to the docks and there was a place that made incredible omelets. (Extra feta!) Then go around the block and fight bee's to get lemonade from a machine before lunch. None of this is made up. And that is just a few day's one time. The rest is really crazy.

Let me know when you plan to visit HI ad American Samoa. My Polynesian people are very hospitable. Keep in mind that guns are illegal in the South Pacific nations and there in no venomous critters there too. Bring a lot of mosquito repellant because they are our worst enemies.
You will love it.

China is rich with history, however, I have no desire to visit countries where they eat cats and dogs.
As an animal activist, that is one country that I would love to eliminate from the face of this earth.
Plus, their own citizens walk around with face masks on to protect themselves from the horrendous pollution.
I am sorry but their cruelty to animals is not what I would like to see whilst on vacation.

that's a bit drastic. not all of them eat cats or dogs. I saw some interesting food there, but never once did I see a cat or dog for food. And I was in a rural area of China, a part where you'd imagine seeing something like that. Even the little villages I went to didn't have any, and I arrived unannounced. I do understand how you feel. I'm a pescatarian (vegetarian + seafood). I don't like cruelty to animals, and just b/c we have to eat- I don't think that's much of an excuse. They also have a pollution problem, much like the UK and USA during the industrial revolution. But it's not everywhere. i guess what I'm saying is I would much rather have people grow and evolve rather than wipe them out. china is a diverse society that will take time to change.
