[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. My friend went on a recent birthday milestone trip for a friend where she invited people from various times of her life on a trip. My friend said she had to room with 3 other people, only 1 she knew 20 years ago. She said bill splitting for a large group was horrible. [/quote]

So then bail.  You seem incredibly difficult.  It's not your birthday.  It is not your place to tell your friend she can't invite other friends to her birthday get away.  You can tell your friend you want to plan another trip just the two of you instead.  You can tell her you'll join but you're going to get your own room.  You can suck it up.   I'm not sure what you're looking for here.  Do you want us to tell you it's ok to tell the birthday girl she can't invite these other friends?  [/quote]

The friend who went on the milestone birthday was for a 40th and not the birthday friend that my post is based on.

I’m not difficult. I just like to stay at nice hotels. This is an exotic country so accommodations matter. It isn’t like we are going to Florida and I want to stay at the four seasons or st Regis while the others would prefer Hilton garden inn. Although that would also bother me.

I once went to a girls trip to Florida and a friend’s friend insisted on this hotel that was cheaper. I remember I didn’t want to go against this woman I have never met. I was familiar with the city because I had been many times. These were newer friends and went with the flow. Our hotel didn’t even have a pool. There were ants. AC didn’t work. It was just a crappy old hotel.

If this trip is a go, I will just make sure the hotel meets normal American standards like a Hilton or Marriott. I won’t insist on ultra luxury like I was planning.[/quote]
