Hi Afriki, thanks for your reply.

I hear you, friends with a lack of money or children is another of the reason's I figure I have to do this or end up regretting it. Like most people I like to share experiences such as holidays so I have already ruled out places like Dubai, Jamaica, Egypt. I think once I have conquered my first solo trip, it will hopefully help me to do much more things that I wish to achieve in life, and can also be a good way to make friends. I initially thought Europe would have been a good place to start, but I want some sun, I then considered Spain for all of two seconds, as my experience in Barcelona last year was an eye opener to how much they just Luuurve Black folks.. Lol. So I won't be going there again, besides, Barcelona was the only Spanish place that I ever wanted to visit.
I'm considering 2/3 night spa breaks somewhere I can also take in some culture, or a few days In Malta... Not sure yet. Whatever I end up doing, your right about self discovery, this process alone has opened my eyes to how much I can procrastinate over things, before I make a move.

I once knew a women that used to travel solo all the time, she said she would pack her bags and then check the last min airline deals and go... How I admired that. I must try it when I'm more confident in my solo travelling.

I also found a site for women only hol groups, but I haven't checked the site out yet. Sounds like a good way to network and travel; I dont blame your friends Mum. Girl's gotta do what she gotta do.
