So why would I ask a bunch of internet strangers what I should do for my holiday? No idea really. I just realized that I have earned some much needed holiday time shortly and really have no idea what to do with it. I'm self employed so there are certain limitations to how long I can go away but as I have back up I should be able to get a proper 10 days in if I want to. The major problem with wanting to go away this year... no one can go ANYWHERE. I have only taken 6 days off in 3 years, which includes a couple of weekends away, a trip to Dollywood (where I didn't actually go to Dollywood), and a 3 day trip to Ireland for a wedding. Everyone is either starting new jobs, broke, or saving for weddings or just generally being gay. I refuse to wait 10 months until someone is available so I have chosen to go away by myself, the only problem is I have never gone on a holiday by myself and everyone keeps saying I will be miserable.
Any suggestions?
Here are my limitations:
Cannot be for more than 10 days
Cannot cost cumulatively more than $2000.00
Cannot involve cheesy tourist type groups as you will all be watching for news reports about the massacre on the tour bus with one lone crazed blood soaked survivor.
I am pale, not pale like ohh make sure to put on suntan lotion before going out but "OHH MY GOD THE SUN IS HITTING YOUR SKIN AND YOU'RE STARTING TO MELT" kind of skin so super sunny resortish stuff isn't my bag.

Galway. Go to Galway. You can sit on a rock at the beach and if you're lucky watch the the day fade on a perfectly clear night, drink bulmers and guinness in those tall cans and wonder why the fuck you'd ever want to move to the u.s., and considering you're already going to be in Galway, it will cost squat.
btw you owe me a new globe. One of those nice greenish yellow ones, not a garish big blue one.

Oh, and there's no retarded tourist vibe. All the tourists there are just guys who rent boats, not people there on cruise ships.

British Virgin Islands. Virgin Gorda is fucking beautiful if you go to the baths, and there's a bar with a swimming pool once you're done snorkeling in the coral beds and wandering around the huge boulders and the cool caves they make.

The Dominican Republic is retardedly cheap. You can have a full week vacation all inclusive for under $1000.
Interesting fact of the day: Since it's in the Commonwealth, if you're Canadian, you don't need a passport to go there. If somebody tells to not to go somewhere at night, though, listen to them.

Jeez, I guess you could go to Ireland. Strikes me as a bit weird though, kind of like going on holiday to Delaware.
It's really not a very interesting place you know. You'd be far better off going to Reykjavic.

Also avoid Italy. Italians are the worst people on earth.
===
Why is that?
-----------------------------
They are a shallow, shallow people. They bitch all the time. Like the French they are decadent, but unlike the French they have no personality.
They are lazy. They are slow witted. Their architecture is deplorable. They are Catholics. They are cowards.
Anything bad Caul has ever said about Americans pales into comparison with the sheer vacuousness of the Italian people. Their culture is based on theft, self indulgence and triviality.
I really wish I was joking. I'm sure there are some lovely Italians out there but every one I've met has been douchbags.
They have state sponsered mimes you know. Can you fucking believe that?
