Good Destination for a stressed Mother to getaway alone?

Question

I need a vacation from my job, my husband, and my kids. Just a few days or a week should do it. I am so stressed out right now and my family isn't make things better. What's a good place I can go on vacation alone? I'm looking for a place I can relax, wind down. I don't want a family place like DisneyWorld. Any suggestions?

PS. I have a bad back so hiking (as someone suggested) is out.

Answer 1

Find a nice resort/hotel with a spa, get a massage, have a manicure/pedicure, take a mud bath, swim, just pamper yourself, maybe take a friend.

Answer 2

I dunno if ure up for it but since u wanna get away and i mean "really" get away...book a flight to Bali, Indonesia...they are famous for exotic spa's and offer beautiful sights.U can forget all ur worries & hubby,kids..work..etc..just kick back & sip wine while watching the sun set.Or juz lay back & let other people just pamper u..for once, ure the centre of attraction.Plus u get a whole different culture and the island offers beautiful landscapes.Been there a few times, loved it, especially the spa's..a real true spa.Plus, u just need to get the ticket there, when ure there, currency is cheap so u can live like a queen!Happy hunting & Cheers!

Answer 3

Go to a spa. You can find all sorts of them, ask a travel agent to help you or look for spas on the internet. We went to Hot Springs, Arkansas, last year and it was great. You can get packages with hotel room, massage and mineral baths and so forth for very little money and Hot Springs is charming.
