Two night break alone would you do it?

Dh was planning this as a surprise for my birthday but told me today before he booked anything just to check I would be OK with it. He was going to book me two nights away to a place I have already been (and adored but we only did a day trip at the time) it's a flight, bus and train journey then a full day exploring by myself staying in a lovely little pub....all by myself....see I am always banging on about having a night away, just me and a good book somewhere nice!! And now he is suggesting it I'm actually a bit afraid. The place itself is heavenly for fans of literature, so I would be well occupied and love it. What would you do, would you do it😬

I'd absolutely do it, and am a literature fan so curious to know where it is!

For a flight, train and bus though I'd prefer 3 nights, but depends on how long on each of these I guess.

I've travelled a lot by myself but never enjoyed eating by myself in the evening so just wouldn't do that. I'd have a big lunch out and just buy something to eat in the room in the evening, or eat in room and go out for a drink in a quiet bar. I'm more about the daytime activities than evening.

Yes. I travel for work fairly often and love it. It's really not hard or as scary as you think.

He’ll yes! Where is it? Books and museums sounds like my idea of heaven!

I'd definitely go. It's the one time you can be selfish and do exactly what you want for yourself.

In my younger years I went away twice by myself (overseas) - totally enjoyed it.
