Agree with Portland, Boston, San Fransisco, further south - Belize (which is just a little bit from Mexico), Montreal

Palm Springs is always great for a short get away

I don't know if it's too far, but Quebec City is an amazing place to visit.

San Fran and San Diego are perfect for a few days!!!

I travel a lot as a single guy. I usually do some short trips over the year. Also long haul travels. Lots of good places in the US. It depends what your looking to do. Wish my travel site was done. On there it will show people were they can go as a solo traveller. Message me if you wants ideas or tips. I am a very big traveller.

San Antonio Texas, you would be shocked at all the cool things to do in and around the downtown area...river walk, Alamo ,warm weather and food trucks galore...

I'm a beach girl so I would say anywhere along the California coast. I also love San Fran!
Clare
with only 3-5 days, stick to the west coast, Portland or Seattle, both direct on AC after May or June. San Fran is also a good option.

San Francisco, Seattle, Santa Fe, Chicago ........all easy to get to , easy to get around in, much too see and do. Have fun

Wow-some great ideas-lots of places that sound good-liking the west coast for the warmth-for 5 days I'm willing to hit Chicago and places like that, including Quebec (but not until its warmer...lol). Thanks all!
Alyssa
Particularly liking the San Fran and Chicago-would love to do NYC but for longer I think. Not fond of dry, desert like climates, so I think Texas and anywhere like that is not really my speed. Portland sounds nice too!

San Francisco...is a perfect jaunt..very walkable and really really nice
Jennifer
AMA has some cool group trips

Ideas for great trips to take for 3-5 days as a single person? I'd like to just pick up and go whenever the mood strikes, but find when it strikes I always go to Vancouver or Toronto..lol.
So I am wondering for those travelers on here who travel on their own a lot what types of short jaunts might be fun, relaxing, interesting. I have a lot of free time this year but my husband is working, so I'd like to just pick up and take off somewhere-but I don't know where is good to go!
I should mention first that the trips I am already going on this year: Las Vegas with my husband on Easter weekend, Riviera Maya with my mum in late April-early May, Jamaica with hubby in early July, Ontario in August, and a Mediterranean cruise out of Barcelona in October. So I have time in May, June, September, November and December-I'm aiming to go on at least two other short trips-up to 5 nights. Any ideas would be good-I am in desperate need of unwinding!
