This is one of those issues couples need to agree on for things to work out. I have broken up with guys in the past who had issues with my wanting to travel alone or with friends. So I picked someone who has the same ideas. I am married, and travel with friends often without my husband. I couldn't be with someone who had a problem with this. My husband is free to do the same. Either you trust someone or you don't. I have said it before, this is what dating is for, to find out if you have the same ideas about life and relationships.
I have a vacation coming up and decided to fly to Chicago and want to travel alone since we already plan to do lots of traveling together this summer. She gets an attitude and started a argument claiming this is not normal behavior when you are dating someone. Well I told her I need some alone time every once in a while and didn't see a problem with it.
Thoughts?
It might depend on how you broached the subject with her. If you asked, "hey I'm thinking of going to Chicago by myself later this summer, how do you feel about that?" that comes across differently than telling her you made plans for a trip without her. She may be overreacting, but you also may not have considered her feelings. We can't tell you out of context.

You can do what you want...might have been wiser to plan your private vacation AFTER all your "together" stuff so she'd be sick of you by then and ready for her own private time...or at least satisfied that you weren't leaving her out.
Of course, I think it's healthy to have that me time when in a relationship.
Ok, sounds like she's the one that has the issue here.
Other than trying to reason with her not much else you can do.
