I remember reading a story about a guy who took a vacation to somewhere tropical after a taper and basically got a room at a all-inclusive for 4 or 5 days. So he flew down there and basically detoxed by himself (after a taper), but other people were around. I remember he said he spent a day or two in his room but then slowly started going outside and laying in the sun and then had a good day or two of fun. It was the off-season so it wasn’t very crowded. Having food available 24/7 was very convient and I think he talked about having a tropical drink or two the first few days.

I was tapering myself and was so envious. That sounded perfect! But everyone is very different. I would love to be able to do that personally, but I am a extroverted introvert. I am a shy person, but also enjoy the presence of people and like to have a conversation or two. I love people watching!

Someone on this board has talked about taking walks at a mall during the first few days of your jump and that seems like a great idea (most likely going to be cold). Sorry, I am rambling here, but I do think it is very important to get out and do things when you are on a taper. Exercise is good of course, but I also like to "get out in the world". After I would taper off of full agonists, I remember feeling like I was "reintroducing myself to the world".
