It's been a lot of years since my first trip out. Technically it was a halloween party, but since everyone but me felt that was a funny costume I wont count it - though as a first time out, it's perfect!
Missions on my own... I think it was driving at night. We have a garage, so I could get dressed, get in the car, drive around for a while, drive in the garage, and while I could have been seen at a stop sign or something, overall, it was pretty safe. I did sometimes think: "what if I break down" but took the risk.
After that, we have a lot of what I guess are strip mall type places in my region. A parking lot that's well lit, and many stores in a long line. I am pretty sure my next ventures out were there. Walk from the car to the side walk in front of the stores and then walk along that and back.
From there, I dont remember the order, but driving around during the day, walking in a cemetery during the day, getting gas at self pump places (night, then later day - amazed me that people could be 2 feet away on the other side of the pump, or a car length away, and appear to have no idea - people see what they want to see, quick glance at the pump says woman, their brain says woman - that's my theory any way) and ultimately going into stores. That all came with some interactions with other people, but by choosing steps that minimized contact potential, or perhaps better said, created success early, the "bigger" steps seemed easier.
Just have to figure the steps that seem right for you. Those sorts of things were about the max I was willing to or wanted to experience.
