But would you be traveling alone if you did the whole month thing? I mean, the plus side of the writercon option is people and writing and that seems like joy to me. But then I'm also a huge nerd who wants to just wander around castles alone and imagine the ghosts of the people who'd used to live there and that's adventure. Though the difference to me is that the places will (more than likely) always be there, so you want to put a premium on your relationships because who knows when you'll get that opportunity again.
