Thank you all for your responses. I have traveled alone before and I don't mind. There are advantages as with anything else but the price is sometimes ridiculous. I am taking a tour with AAA and that $750 is a "deal" for a single rate. Other places charge much more. I will check into the suggestions here. Usually I go on a quilt tour and this will be a first which is not related to quilting. Kydeb, I understand about not wanting to travel without your partner. My travel buddy and I went someplace almost every year including Alaska and France. She was about 5' tall and a real spit fire. I will miss her dearly. For the past several years she was unable to talk due to a stroke so each month I sent her a card, sometimes pictures, sometimes just talk about the weather. But I wanted her to know that I hadn't forgotten her.

My Mom has traveled alone for the past several years ( she is now 85) .. and is still traveling alone. She has used Grand Circle and Over Seas Adventures. She said the first year she met so many people , that via e- mail they all communicate as to what trip they are all taking and who wants to room up. She too hates to spend the extra $$ single room. FYI she is in Western NY.
If you have not checked out the Bali tour its wonderful ( Just went in May/June). The organizer really does a good job of trying to double up any single travelers.

I love to travel but have not done any since my husband passed in 2009. I would be interested in having someone to share expenses and not have to pay the additional for "single occupancy". Please send me a PM and perhaps we could get acquainted. I live in NE Tennessee, my neighbors are from upstate NY. Hope to hear from you.

Why should it cost more to travel alone? I don't get it! Is it because of notifying next of kin? I mean as long as I'm takingcare of myself and don't need any assistance. That's crap! $750.00 OMG!!!!! Or is that because of a bogo thing.? But I don't travel much so OhWell! Hope you find someone quickly! Just won't be me
