Have you ever been on holiday by yourself?

Holiday as in travelling to a foreign destination, possibly overseas, and make all travel arrangments yourself, with no-one else to rely on? What were the benefits and inconveniences of travelling alone? And how long did you go for?

I've been on a 3 week holiday in Japan, but it was intermixed with a one week stay at a friend's house.
