I would have blown water all over my keyboard if I'd been drinking it when I read StCirq's post. Perfect!

When I'm traveling alone, do I see couples arguing over what to do, where to eat, and feel pity for them? Ah, no (the majority of the time ) Seriously, what would mark you anyway, do you have a flashing neon 'solo traveler' sign on your back?

Sorry for wasting you time and energy.
Too bad elaine is not online today or else she would have busted me. Thanks all, and Patrick, even though you're obviously not very smart, you really sound hot.

You can be with a hundred people and be lonely. You can be alone and be so happy and content.

But, Alskar, Elaine IS on line today. She simply cannot be bothered to continue playing games with you.

alskar, then I'm to assume this is not a sincere question from a new solo traveler? but people horsing around on the BB using various alias?

No, I feel sorry for you because you have nothing better to do than post misleading information on a travel website under a series of assumed identities.

If you really are going to Amsterdam (good of the doctor to let you out for the weekend) then I get the feeling you'll be OK as you are probably used to being on your own.

Patrick: Don't be so quick to discredit this poster: He, she or it said you were hot!

I went to Amsterdam by myself, and had a good time. Went on a boat tour, and to the Anne Frank house, where I met other solo travelers. No problems at all. Enjoy yourself, and be thankful that you can set your own agenda!

alskar, in case you haven't gotten it, you don't have to be solo in Amsterdam for people to feel sorry for you.

Know what I mean?
