I have minor agoraphobia but have managed to travel a few times by myself and it was always a huge accomplishment. I really want a break from life's stresses and to go somewhere sunny for a few days. Somewhere cheap and that requires very little effort for someone with my anxiety issues(such as not a lot of points to get to place to place and being very safe). It's been quite a awhile since I tried traveling alone and my anxieties have been worse since then but i am not sure i can get anyone to come with me and just really want to try anyways and feel if i plan it properly I can pull it off. Some place that just has everything right there so i don't have much to figure out or far to go once at destination. I just want to stay in a nice hotel bed,eat good food,and walk outside and be at a beach or pool and easy to just come back in again.

Tanning booth, swim in pool, soak in hottub, order room service... Yeah.. we are on the same page! kudos! Love your post

I would recommend Key West, FL, but you have to be creative to make it cheap.

Your bio says you live in Chicago? During the winter you will have to travel a distance to fill your requirements of sunny. Better chance of finding those requirements cheaper in a warmer time of year.

I would choose a rustic cabin on a lake personally...I love country & wilderness even if I have to cook for myself. Lake gives you a quiet calm beach which I like also. I traveled to Cabo San Lucas for a long weekend with a group from work years ago. Warm, nice beach on the sea of Cortez side but the waves on the pacific side were large, rough, & dangerous. The sand flees were nasty also....miserable if not in the water snorkeling. I personally prefer pool side relaxation if not enjoying a rural lake experience
