[quote=Anonymous]A friend is getting married in Portland, OR, in September. Mainly for cost reasons, but also the fact that we'd need either overnight babysitting here or stranger babysitting there (neither good possibilities in our situation), I'm not taking DH or DS, who will be almost 2 years. We could technically do lap flying, but for that distance and for safety, I don't like that idea. We could probably manage without a car seat there, though. DS's name wasn't on the invitation, plus the wedding is at 6:30. DH doesn't mind if I go alone since he is more my friend than DH's. I guess we could all go and DH could sit out the wedding, but that seems kind of sad to me, too.

I'm worried that a, I will only know my friend and his (probably pre-occupied) immediate family, since all his family/friends are on the East Coast and b, I'll feel lame traveling around the city by myself. I've traveled alone before, but it was always somewhere I know people or had a professional agenda. I'm still on the fence about whether I should even go. It's also a busy time at work, but I think I can work around that if I decide it's worth it.

Would I, an extrovert, enjoy touring around Portland for a day or two by myself? I've always wanted to visit, but didn't really envision it being a solo trip. [/quote]
