Yes, 4 weeks is right on the edge of being too long, isn’t it, Rhiannon? Mrs Romance was away for a couple of weeks recently and it started feeling a bit weird. It’s great when they get back though. Travelling together – providing you travel together well – is always better I find. Work trips are funny though as even if you can go along for the ride, there’s often very little time to spend with your other half while they’re working.
Keep your chin up – he’ll be back soon enough. Use this time to perfect your duty free order for when he comes home!

Ouch Mrs R…now that would be far too mean…or would it, Thelma?!

Perfect time of year for a roadtrip! You’ll love it. Try and hire a cool car too, then your husband will be really annoyed that he’s missing out x

My next book is set on the East Coast of America and I will be heading there, alone, in September. Will hire a car and set out on a road trip to get off the freeways, find those hidden stories, meet the people, discover the places not listed in Trip Advisor…not necessarily prettty but potentially way more interesting. My husband is a little pissed off that he isn’t coming….now it seems the solo travel thing has bitten!

Hi Anna! Your trip sounds amazing. Just read all three parts to it – you weren’t joking when you said you’d written about it extensively, were you?! Well done for getting out there and travelling alone. It can be scary – especially if you haven’t travelled solo before or for a very long time. You really have to put it out there and be as sociable as possible, don’t you?
So glad you had a good time. I wonder – do you think you’ll travel alone again?
Thanks for sharing.

It was a bit strange at first, I knew absolutely no one and was forced to make friends, talk to strangers and engage with people at a whole new level…I bloody loved it!

Ha ha! Nothing sappy about it, Sam. It’s strange not being with the person you’ve chosen to spend your life with, isn’t it?
I wonder how our friends do it – like Gareth – who has to travel a lot for work. Must be tough.

Yes, this Bali trip that Mrs R has been on is the longest time we’ve been apart for a while. It’s a weird thing – I love my own space but it does get a bit lonely after a while. I think it’s probably easier on the person doing the travelling anyway.
