Goin' solo...nothing like it! (A trip report collection)
I thought it might be a good idea (and because I'm procrastinating like crazy) to gather the Fodors' solo trip reports into one place, so I'll start with mine:
Peru (Amazon rainforest) and Panama City, 2007: http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...6&tid=35029544
Poland and Lithuania, plus London, 2006: http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...2&tid=34841274
China, including Tibet and Hong Kong, 2005:
http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...7&tid=34656568
Malta, 2004 (in a "100 Best" format
http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...2&tid=34569518
Vietnam, 2002:
http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...7&tid=34659821
Iceland, 2001 (also in 100 Best format): http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...=2&tid=1278237
Go for it...traveling solo is a wonderful thing.

What a wonderful idea Amy! This will be one thread that I'll sit my nieces down to read the next time they're here. To follow your lead (and example on identifying the reports):
Ottawa, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Montreal, 2007: http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...9&tid=35061783

Sorry, I never write trip reports myself, so have nothing to contribute along those lines but want to thank you (Amy) for the idea and getting this thread started.
For the rest of you lovers of adventures alone... let's get together & breathe some life into 'Solo Traveler' forum for the New Year!!

The solo trips I've written a Fodors trip report on:
USA 2007
http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...eigasuki&fid=1
Japan 2006
http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...eigasuki&fid=1
Other trips I've done solo - to Japan, Europe and the eastern parts of Australia I've written about in my blog - in reverse oreder. Excuse the typos; they are usually written when tired, against the clock in internet cafes on unfamilair keyboards!

My 2007 trip to Ireland is here:

I've also been to Scotland and Germany solo, but was lazy about writing up the trips. My Scotland pictures are here though:

My Maine vacation is in 2 weeks!

Great idea to have a list like this.
Here are some of my solo trip reports:

Copenhagen and Stockholm (July 2006): http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...2&tid=34860450
Just returned from another solo trip - The Veneto, Italy, Vienna and Budapest. Trip report will be done soon.
