Something that can't be done solo

Apparently, there is one thing you cannot do solo. I just found that little tidbit out this week. 

I was trying to schedule a wine-tasting tour for myself on my birthday on Sunday, the 6th in Santa Barbara with Captain Jack's Tours. Unfortunately, they have a 2 person minimum. At first I didn't understand what that meant, minimums mean nothing to me, but it actually means that one person is a No and two people is a Go. So they put me on a waiting list. Yes, waiting list for the couples to schedule the tour and when they do they would have room for the singles. 

At first, I thought, that's okay. But then, I thought that is so mean. So if a couple schedules the tour I would end up being the third wheel to their "romantic" wine tour. Isn't that sad? I already play that role in life why would I want to do that of all days, my birthday for that matter. They called today and I turned them down. I decided to rent a car and drive or even walk around the local wineries and do the tour the way I intended. When I scheduled this same tour of Napa, it was much easier, they were quite a few people that were doing it solo and we all hauled into a tour bus and made our way through the wine country. Maybe it's different for Santa Barbara, smaller wineries to visit, fewer wineries, I don't know, but nothing should ever have a 2 person minimum. Most of us showed up into this world alone. You either go on the tour as scheduled with one person or 10 people that's how most businesses are run. At least I thought so.
