Shearings late deals singles

Would really like to hear from anyone with suggestions of little and remote airports that I could investigate 'with a view'. Travel is king but budget is second! Hope I haven't arrived too late with this I echo Galen's view-a cruise can be the answer for single travellers. FIL, aged 89, is currently en route to the Canaries by himself and has emailed to let us know he's having a wonderful time! DIL's mother is on her own and goes away every year on single person's group holidays. She's currently on a cycling holiday in the Broads and is planning a trip to Madagascar next year.
She says there's always someone to talk to as everyone is on their own. I joined a remarkable not for profit organisation called 5W, which madw the whole 'solo' thing very different. And one day soon, when I get round to it, I am going to write a blog about this once in a lifetime experience! In the meantime, look it up on the web if you want to find out more Im not single but dH and I go on a lot of hf holidays and there are usually lots of singles.

Everyone eats together in the evening and there is often some sort of entertainment. Ive met singles unmarried, divorced, widowed - of both sexes who've made friends ladies with other ladies i mean and who have met up again for other holidays together from time to time. The holidays we've been on with hf have been guided walking holidays but there are others too - eg sightseeing group led , music, bridge, yoga, cookery and lots more. Or you can just do your own thing but still meet up with others in the evenings. I recommend it. Try looking at their website.
Hi Luckylegs9 I am getting used to traveling on my own since husband died. The more I do it the less self conscious I am becoming. I am going off on Friday to Jordan with a group, yes I am anxious but excited too. Evenings can be difficult as can eating on ones own.
Coach holidays: Eight days in Devon £189 all-in
I load my tablet with downloads from i-player or films. Take Kindle with lots of books. Magazines and newspapers. Take stuff I don't have time to do at home. I have got more confident eating out and can concentrate on the food more when not chatting to a companion. Also can get into conversations with others. I am beginning to love the independence I feel and perhaps have the sort of freedoms that men take for granted. So much better than spending too much time doing the familiar and I really appreciate time at home after being away. Do let me know how you get on.
Lots of holidays advertised in the Saturday Telegraph. Have you thought of coach touring holidays? They can be great fun. Hi Luckylegs9, I travel on organised group holidays on my own and I have never had a problem. I dont book specifically singles holidays, just anything I fancy really. There have usually been several people on their own in whatever group I join and you very soon get to know everyone whether alone or in couples. Evening meals are generally taken as a group.
You could Warner Holidays. Lots to do and entertainment in the evenings.

Always very helpful only problem you won't get the sun as our weather is so unpredictable! Try a cruise. I go on several and there are "single" people on many of them and plenty of entertainment too. The most recent cruise I went on is introducing studio cabins so that single people do not have to pay a single person supplement when occupying a double room and also a single only persons lounge if they so wish to use it along with all the other facilities open to everybody.
I met 3 single people on my recent cruise who were enjoying themselves. MSC is also a friendly cruise company, they mainly do Europe.
Hope this gives you some ideas. If I found myself on my own I would cruise, it feels safe to me and I wouldn't be stuck in one place with no entertainment. When working as a holiday rep I met lots of single travellers, the most important thing is to make the effort to talk to someone, I found that they often started with me, usually with a question regarding some aspect of their holiday. We soon got to chatting about anything and everything, and of course I knew all the other single travellers staying in my hotels at the same time so could make introductions where appropriate.
I am proud to say I even got two guests from opposite ends of the UK who ended up getting married! Hi Luckylegs9, I've not actually holidayed anywhere on my own yet but I'm sure the time will come when I will venture down that route so understand your predicament. Many have mentioned the likes of solos, cruises, activity type holiday,s which I quite agree with. Also I was thinking maybe bus companies like shearings etc which do holidays all over. You could even do a few short breaks, the meals and entertainment are usually included and I doubt you would feel on your own.
In fact you will probably be so busy and chat to so many you will be glad to go to your room for some peace and quiet, lol. I have been to Madeira before, twice, and although it is lovely it is not the best place for a single holiday for exactly the reason you said about the evening and lack of entertainment etc. I'm sure there is lots for you out there and do keep us updated.
