On the way back from a professional conference in Virginia, where I stayed in a no-frills dorm room for a whole week, I decided to treat myself to a whole day in Savannah, after finding a good deal on expedia. I'm not sure why my EX always insisted on saving money by staying at motels out by the interstate, as we could occasionally afford a little treat. Being able to step outside one's door and be in the historic district makes such a difference, especially since we are older folks. Once we were stuck out in the burbs, driving into town never seemed really practical, so there we were.
Here's the good part: I started the day with an historic tour of the city, then a nice lunch, an art museum, a riverboat tour where there was really a gritty, insider's view of how the port operates because the captain was a blue-collar guy who had actually worked a lot of the longshore jobs. Dinner was reasonably good, and the day isn't over yet. I noticed a church is having a half-hour candlelight performance of Gregorian chant, so I plan to cap the day with that. And then back to the room for my favorite reality show, Ice Truckers. Can't remember the last time I had a day so filled with nice things.

Savannah is a wonderful beautiful old city! I wish you were able to take another day and go out to the old fort.
Ice Truckers rules!! I love that show! I wanted to do this when I first started driving a truck!

What a great time is sounds like you are having.....I am definitely jealous about the Gregorian Chant concert.......that is my favorite kind of singing.....especially in a cathedral where is echoes around.....I have many CD's of the Gregorian Chants.......nice to see someone else other than me appreciates that type of music.
I am finding that when I am alone, I do so many more things than when I was with my husband. I work hard & then go out & enjoy myself.....& do the things that I like to do. It hasn't taken me long to adjust to this alone life.....I love it. Going where I want to go, doing what I want to do, eating what I want to eat. It's a pretty good life isn't it????? Glad you are enjoying yourself & doing the things that you like to do.....that is what life is all about anyway...isn't it? Enjoy, Debbie

Good for you!! Sounds like you had a lot of fun doing what YOU wanted to do!
Guess one of these days I'm going to have to get my courage up and do something by myself. I've never been one to do that, but how else do I get to do what *I* want?!  Thanks for the inspiration, Wants2Fly!

Sometimes I feel alone when I am by myself, especially since my X was an excellent traveler. It was nice to be able to share the experience. But right now, I do not have anyone with whom to share, M or F, and I do think that "my day" has made a nice improvement in my outlook.
