Could you go visit friends that live far away? Maybe go on a group vacation tour. My dad met lots of friends (not people to date) doing that.

Personally, I would look for an organized tour. You know there will be other people there with you every day. I'd pick something I'd like to learn more about - like a birdwatching tour. I'd get to meet people with my same interests, see some beautiful scenery, as well as learn something in the process.

The other thing I would consider would be one of those eco-tours where you help the environment. Again, there are other people along, and you get to do something cool for the earth.

That's just me. Who knows if I'll ever have the luxury of knowing several months in advance that I will have a week child-free so that I could actually plan such a trip? My stbx has been extremely unreliable with visitation.
