Hi. I used to post a lot and made some great friendships over the years which mostly have petered out so am back on the boards seeking, advice... I dunno. My brain is all over the place right now.
I'm in a pickle. My trips usually are pickles for one reason or another, but this one is a great big sour dill pickle and I'm in a catch 22 situation. We have the most amazing 12 day stay at the Polynesian starting September 1st that basically took having all the planets and moon aligned to pull this off. The logistics are insane. Our life is insane. Long story. Anyway... this trip was to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary renewing our vows, and my 50th birthday. We've been looking forward to it for a year. My husband lives and works 2000 miles from home and we see each other about 8 to 9 weeks a year. We SO look forward to this trip every September. Then, out of nowhere, life threw up all over us last week and we're still trying to process it all.
It looks like I'll be traveling solo because, well, CANCER SUCKS and my husband is sick. Long story short, the only thing refundable for this trip is a Southwest credit for my husband which he will never use. Our DVC points are going to be stuck in a holding account and we won't have an opportunity to use them. There are other reasons for this trip that I don't wish to get into but my husband has decided for my own sanity and mental health, that I'm going to go alone. I'm okay with that. I think.
I'm Canadian and flying out of New Hampshire. I'll be there 12 days. I am torn between going and staying with my husband. It's a mess and I ask you please don't judge when you don't know all of the facts. (I'm so sick of being judged!) The last time I traveled solo, I had a wonderful time, but I was lonely at times and spent a lot of time in my room. I'm hoping to meet some people to maybe have a meal with, grab a coffee or even do the parks with. I just don't know how I feel about this. I'm a nervous person by nature and worry a lot. I need to do a grocery run when I arrive and am terrified to take Uber or Lyft alone. I do not want to use a delivery service because I don't know what I want until I'm physically in the store browsing. I know, irrational but it's how I am wired. Anyone else feel the same? Is there hope that I can meet with people to help keep me from self loathing in guilt that I am taking this trip alone?! (at my husband's insistence, I must add) Any suggestions people? I'm all open ears right now since this is going down in 13 days.
