My buddy and I were planning on visiting Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Berlin. This has been in the planning for several months, which both of us working shitty jobs to earn the necessary cash to get there. Two months ago, we purchased our airline tickets with Air Transat, going from Montreal to Paris it cost only $878. Not so bad… A week before we leave, I find out that my friend has JUST BAILED OUT ON ME!!!!!! A week before leaving! Understandably, it’s because he needs to do medical tests before beginning training to leave for Afghanistan (He’s a Canadian army reservist who volunteered for Afghanistan). It sucks greatly for him as he just lost $900. The tickets were non-refundable. Now, I’m going to have to change some of my plans. I still want to go but I am concerned about traveling solo. I’ve never actually done it. I know that there is a sense of greater adventure in it, but I’m still skeptical. For example, drinking solo in a bar, that is kinda weird. I’d like to know if anyone else has any similar experiences in this case?
