Absolutely. Been doing it on and off for at least 17 years. I think we think alike (maybe we both have Great Minds, eh?? ;-)) because it has *never* stopped me from doing any of those things you listed. It's fun and freeing.

Why do it? Divorced,, no one able financially to come along, or don't want to go where I go, or just impulsive. I like the company of family usually, or years back maybe a close fried, too, but I like alone almost as well. I *like* my own company, and I think you do, too. I believe that's fairly healthy because as you said, it's not limiting. Most people who have questioned me ask why I'm not afraid. It surprised me because it didn't occur to me to be afraid until they said that! And I'm still not. If you are sensible and street savvy enough, not prone to panic, adn prepared for things, traveling alone does not have to be all that risky.

You go, girl....but DO be careful in Vegas. I have been a few times and there are places not to go and it can be dangerous in the vicinity of the strip for a young woman. I think you will have a blast just looking at all the weird and larger than life stuff (and gain 5 pounds from the cheap, 24-hour food!!) Lol!

I am impressed and proud of you. You are such a positive Babble story.

With your mom, it is cultural and about gender, do you think? Or being married? Would it be cool if you were a son? Does she ever say *why* she wouldn't do those things? Brought up that way? So interesting.
