The Weird Thing We Do on Vacations (I Swear by It)

We did that in Kyoto. Most of the time we have the same interest. Only for this one we have our own bucket list. I when to tea ceremony class. He went to photo hunting geisha. Since I’m the only one in the class that come alone, I got the best seat and a best treat. He can took a lot of geisha cool photo. We meet after class and share our fun experience. That is one of the perfect day.

This is about as brilliant as sitting apart when flying with children. I plan on doing both when we vacation next month. Thank you for the lovely, simple tips.

I just came across this post, Joanna–LOVE IT!

I just recently went on a weekend getaway with the guy i’ve been seeing for a few months and was so worried we’d run out of things to talk about on the 4 hour drive to go skiing (We didn’t and it was so great!) We hit the slopes together and also separately (he’s much more advanced than I!), and even after being apart for a few runs we’d have so much to catch up on!

Love this tip for vacations, your blog truly is the best!

My husband and I have done this several times. My favorite time was spending the day at Windsor Castle while my husband went the opposite direction to Greenwich and lots of naval history displays. We went to a play that night to do something together. I recommend it highly.

This is an old post, but just reading it :) YES! Hubby and I have always done this. We’ll have breakfast together and then he’s off to golf for 4-5 hours. His quiet time. I’ll go get a massage, mani/pedi, shop, read a book by the beach or pool…. yes! then we meet up at dinner time.

Oooh, I don’t know. Vacations are the time where we get to spend a buttload of time together (which we normally don’t do), so being apart would be odd.

Then again, after spending 24/7 together for two weeks we have on occasion got very annoyed with each other, so maybe if it gets to that point on the next trip, I’ll suggest it.

Thank you for this great idea! We tried it for the first time during a recent visit to Tokyo. I loved going on the subway alone, walking around the city… and I even took myself on a lunch date for sushi. It was really fun to catch up about the day over dinner together that evening. Thinking we might give this another try during our honeymoon this winter!!

I’m doing it, and it really works for me. It alright being separated a few hours, it gives you a sense of being one with yourself, not depriving yourself from the things you wanted to do.

This is awesome! I love having some “me” time in new places! This would suffice my urge to do a full Get Away on my own. Just a day on vacation, is a great idea. Now to get the hubby on board…

bishop jakes, thank you a million time for helping me get back my $4500 dollars. that was scam by one malaysia guy by name Ahmed Musaoion.bishopjakesmore@gmail.com, i am Jackson David, 23years of age. i got an email asking me to apply for a loan, before i could know what i was doing i have already given out this huge amount of money. by selling some of my property and my Dad’s car just to meet up to their demands, it all look as if i was under a great spell because i was totally confused. suddenly they stoped sendind me mails when they knew i had no money on me’ it was then i came to my senses that i have been frauded. i started searching for help on the internet on how to get my money back, that was were i came acrossed great testimonies of this great pastor nick. just after a week and three days the bastard called me and promised sending me back my money with interest, right now he has sent about $4800 dollars. Thank you so much pastor nick, i am forever greatful, that is why i will spread your email I.D: (bishopjakesmore@gmail.com) to the whole wide world to know some one like you exist. from Jackson U.S.A

Absolutely! A lot of our couple only trips tend to be extensions of business trips, so I’m often on my own for a day – and love it! We’ll go for a run together in the morning and meet up for dinner after meetings. It’s the best of both for me a mother of 3. hubbie time AND alone time = happy momma!

That is a GREAT idea! Thanks for the tip! [Very cool photo of you two!]
Thanks,

What a great idea! I’ve never even thought about it but it IS genius!

my husband and I do that too! one of my favorite times was in London…

I can’t even imagine NOT doing this. We do this all the time.

No thanks to the topography of terror museum? It’s a great museum. Cool idea though about spending a day apart!

We do the same thing as well – usually every late afternoon, after running around a city, visiting museums, eating and sightseeing. I will usually take off to do a little shopping and L does whatever he wants to. I agree, it is a nice way to reconnect in the evening. Always have new experiences to share.

This was an especially awesome post to read halfway through a 5 month sabbatical with my husband and 3 year old son. Sometimes you forget you can call ‘time out’ and just run away with the (other) circus for a day. We’re in Mexico right now and I think I’ll be pencilling in a day to myself to wander the markets of Oaxaca or simmer in the jungles of Palenque. Thanks for the refresher. x

LOVE love love this!

When my boyfriend and I went to Budapest, we would split up during our vacation enforced siesta time. My favorite experience was when he went to the beer garden outside our hotel for a brew and to read his book while I napped and then when he came back and took a nap, I did the same thing, and we didn’t know until later we spent our time apart at the same place!

I’ve done this once with my husband back when we were still dating. We spent a day enjoying our trip separately and when we met again at the end of the day we had a lot of things to share about what we’ve been doing that whole day. Haven’t done this again after being married (never thought of doing so, exactly), but seems like a great idea to do this again on our next trip…an awesome story to share, by the way! :)

I can’t believe how may co-dependent, scared people there are out there! Be your own person! Have your own interests! It’s so healthy and makes for interesting conversation at dinner, as Jo says. :)

Lately I’m a solo traveller (I’ve moved away from home and used to travel with my family), but the idea that it’s more than alright to go somewhere by yourself isn’t really there. I’m glad that others see how wonderful it can be to explore by yourself!

My husband and I did this on our honeymoon, of all times! It was perfect – I took a cooking class and browsed art galleries, and he got to play golf!

I can so see my hubby proposing a counter offer of spending one day together and the rest of vacation apart! :)))

YES. It’s awesome. Not only do we get a break for ourselves but we get “me” time.

Love this idea!

We always spend time apart on vacay.

However, our big tradition is a silly one that began accidentally: my husband always gets a haircut and shave at a wonderful barbershop where ever we vacation. Off the top of my head that has included, barbering at Aidan Gil in New Orleans, a sweet old timey shop in Palm Springs, Rudy’s in Portland, some older gentlemen’s shop in Los Angeles– there are others that I’m forgetting. We love it!

That is a great idea! I’ll have to run it by my husband and hopefully he’ll agree to do this on our next vacation together!

I love this idea and am very surprised that I’ve never thought of it before.

I love exploring new cities on my own whenever I go away for work and I think my boyfriend would appreciate a day to do his own thing without feeling bad for dragging me around.

I love trips spent exploring together but for one day I think it would be liberating and fun.

Thanks for suggesting this.

My husband and I do the same thing, I love me-time and so does he and although we like doing the same things a lot we have different interests and I am not one to drag him aorund doing things I know he’s not up for. Such a good thing!

I desperately needed this tip a few weeks ago. My boyfriend came to visit me for three solid weeks of traveling togetherness after nine months of being apart. The shift from not seeing each other apart from Skype chats to 24 hours a day together was more than I could handle. I freaked out and tried to break up with my super sweet boyfriend. Thankfully he figured out what was going on faster than I did and left for a walk around the city alone. He had fun, I had some time alone, and by the time he got back I was feeling sorry for my outburst and ready to make up. If we had just planned in advance to take some time apart the whole episode could have been avoided, and we both could have just enjoyed doing things alone. Excellent advice!
