Just read through Dave's posts on travelling alone, and having spent 2.5 weeks in Europe completely by myself I must say that the best time to travel alone is when you've just had a couple months where you had a lot of time around people you very much enjoyed being around, but where there was absolutely nothing whatsoever interesting to do. Then the tradeoff of amazingly fascinating things to do by yourself, although still a little lonely, is at least a nice change of pace.

That was a fine summer.
