onedayatatime - I'm looking at Contiki Tours. I'll look at G Adventures too. There is also "Top Deck Tours".
I did a Contiki tour by myself last year. I think my blog is still linked in my signature, now that I think about it, but if you're interested in hearing more about my experience I'm glad to share. I blogged about it at length. It was the best thing I've ever done, I met some amazing people, and totally recommend it (at least, depending on your tolerance for fast paced, booze filled travel. It's not the right company for everyone.)
My resolutions will really depend on what happens with my job situation too. I guess #1 would be to find a good job, lol.
Really, I need to get back to a place of taking care of myself. I need to lose weight, but I don't want to go on a diet - I just need to focus on eating healthy and limiting portions. I assume I'll lose weight if I stop eating/drinking so damned much. Along with that, I need to get better about food prep because much of my issue is from grabbing takeout or other lazy foods.
I also need to make a point of going to bed earlier, exercising regularly, reading more books, and just being conscious of my health and personal needs. I feel like this has been a weird year due to becoming serious/moving in with my BF, losing my job, and just a lot of lifestyle changes associated with those. It's been a lot of fun buying beer and candy and staying up late with BF, but as we settle into the long term we need to be healthier. And hopefully whenever I find a new job, I'll get a better routine and lose some stress so I'll eat better.
I would like to be less frivolous with my money (I spend way too much on clothes and don't save enough). I'd also like to be better at living in the present. A solo vacay sounds like an amazing idea!

I will definitely check out your blog and I would love to ask you questions about your trip!! I'll read first and then ask questions. I just feel that the time for me to take this trip is NOW! No more waiting!

Absolutely! No day but today I felt the same way when I booked my trip, and have no regrets at all. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself! Let me know if you have any questions!

This year will be the first one where I wont be saying losing weight. It is not that I don't need to but I want to do eat healthier more because of health issues so that.
I want to get better at my finances too. I have a really good budget but STICKING to it it's the hard part.
I want to be more environmentally conscious. In the light of the Climate Change Conference in Lima, I want to be more active. It doesn't help that I just got a car and I am kind of breathing in a paper bag because of the emissions. DD has been obsessed with the Ozone Layer for several weeks so I am going to use the chance to make it out thing.
And here is a link to a "recap" post, that links to all my other trip posts. I realized if you just click on the link in my profile, you have to dig a bit (though, my blog is almost all that trip so it's not that much digging, lol).
I've decided that instead of waiting for the new year I'm starting my resolutions now! I just signed up for a class pass that let's you take any fitness class at a wide variety of studios for only $99 a month. The catch is that you can only take three class from each studio per month. But there are a TON. I figure this is a great way to really see what kind of fitness studio would be right for me. And heck maybe I'll realize I like a ton of variety. I do get bored easily. Crossing my fingers I can make myself do this!

My roommate and I dated for about 6 months and that was the first guy in over a year. Things were good, but he ultimately isn't what I want or the type of Man I need. Now, living with him is strange but we're rebuilding a friendship.
After 5 years of being single I'm ready for love. Real, mature, consuming, and uplifting love.
I don't plan on Internet dating or anything of the sorts. I plan to keep on, keeping on, but I'm finally opening my heart up.

I want to create a budget and solid routine. Since moving out in April, I feel like I've just been "floating" along, very scatter-brained. And that's just not me. I guess divorce really does completely change your world.
I also want to learn to love me. My sense of humor, my body, my flaws and strengths. I just want to stop feeling like I'm in competition with anyone else for anything else. And I feel like some self-loving will really help with that.
I also want to take a trip--alone. Nothing fancy or lavish. But I want to get out of my world for just a bit.
