I need to take a trip somewhere. I thought about doing a business trip for one of the things i do for work but i'm not sure i'll have things set up in time for that so am thinking of a more vacation escape place but couldn't think of where until Vegas came to mind. Vegas is cheap,sunny. All i want is a place to be away from it all for a short bit,get some sun,hang by a pool. Has anyone that's a female been to Vegas alone? Is it a crazy idea? I have travel funds I need to use up by a certain time and need to go somewhere but my mind is all over the place about where to go, and i'm still kind of recovering from things. I'd rather go to Miami but I think Miami is more expensive plus it's definitely less safe. Then again,there could be other benefits. I'm just looking for an easy trip. Miami seems to have a lot of steps needed to take to get from hotel and so on which with my anxiety issues makes things tricky.

annabellacat, i have been to Nevada the strip as they call it. I enjoyed myself but i went with others. the room was booked in advance for us at a hotel and they provided limousine service that picked us up at the airport. we took the tram the length of the strip and paid for the tickets to use up. we thourougly enjoyed ourselves. you will also. once you get there go everyone as a group, book your stay doing things as a group so you are protected, and you won't have any anxieties or worries. enjoy yourself and have fun. tc

What about a spa resort? Might be safer? Vegas and Miami aren't exactly cities that come to mind when wanting to get away and clear ones mind, but just because it doesn't come to mind it couldn't be lovely to vacation.

Hope all works out.

I used to go to Vegas alone, but that was because I'm a poker player. You could easily do that alone for long hours.

Now I live in Vegas.

I would say that most of the things on the strip are still more suitable as group activities. It might feel a little weird to go to a nice restaurant alone or bar alone.

If you just want to eat some fast food/cafe style good, get some sun, or walk/shop around a little bit, that's fine for doing alone. Or even seeing a show.

I would choose an artsy place like Sedona Az...lots to look at, great hiking, hot air ballooning & the condo I stayes at had beautiful spa. Close to grand Canyon if interested in sightseeing a bit.......but I like country & not city. & enjoy artsy communities

You're agoraphobic but you want to go to Vegas on your own? You think that would be a good idea?

Nope. And,i was just about to post in here that I changed my mind about it anyways. I have traveled alone with my agoraphobia before. They were my biggest overcoming agoraphobia accomplishments but measures were taken such as making sure it's a short trip,i have a support person who i keep in contact with,I do lots and lots of research ahead of time,i pray and do affirmations ahead of time ensuring all goes well. Once,there wasn't any issues and i handled it really well and another time I did have a panic attack but my support person stayed with me on the phone and helped me until we got it figured out and worse come to worst,he would've had to drive and get me! He would've killed me for that,but he is the only person who really knows and understands my anxiety issues. Obviously,i have to do things others don't and cover it up because i'm not going to tell them the truth because it'd be embarrassing so for example,i didn't take a train in one place,but instead would cab it which costs more,but with my issue is safer.

So,yes,i HAVE traveled alone but not often,and they were considering the biggest accomplishments of my overcoming agoraphobia. I had thought once i did things like that,it'd inspire me more back home to do more again and be more confident and for one trip,it kinda did and back home,i took more risks a little bigger,but the other trip,well i had other incidents happen after that sort of put me back into my shell more and more and my agoraphobia got worse again. Then,i started having panic attacks which i believe was something telling me to make life changes to overcome the agoraphobia since i was at a point where i was kind of getting lazy for overcoming from fear and not really taking many steps anymore. Then,emotional craziness came into my life and i've been inspired from that and the panic attacks to start to take bigger steps again and am currently trying to get a liscense and want to learn to ride a bike,for example. I also told a guy that liked me that i ended up liking too that i have agoraphobia which was hugeee for me. And,he didn't judge me but said he'd help me and take care of me and teach me. So,someone knowing some personal things about me not many know was big for me. I wanted to take a trip and still do but i don't think im ready,especially since things in my life are still not quite stable and ill need that if i'm going to try going out of town alone again. I don't want my travel funds to expire without use though so need to figure something out. I may try to do business trip instead which is still traveling alone but might be a little safer feeling. I'm a very ambitious person. My agoraphobia is a paradox to my ambition. People who don't know me would never guess i have agoraphobia. It's always been my big secret.
