I have traveled by myself for many years. I took a quilt tour to Sisters, Oregon, Alaska, France, Vermont, etc. I love taking these trips as I meet such interesting people, strong women, and enjoy the aspect of fabric and quilting. The first time I went on a tour I agreed to have a roommate. We became fast friends and we still keep in touch. I say, Go for it. Live is short. I went with two different tour groups, one I liked better than the other. Your group leader can make or break a great tour.
