Hi Becky, go for it. I was in AC in December and it was the first time I'd traveled alone and I had a *great* time. I met a lot of other people who were traveling solo, both male and female. The people of AC are extremely open and friendly - head over to Fido's your first night and you'll make friends you'll hang out with your entire trip. Don't have any second thoughts about going yourself, it'll be a great trip.
