[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just tell my friend "yeah this is becoming too unwieldy with all these extra people and their schedules, so I'm going to pass, but my offer to treat YOU to a spa weekend at the Four Seasons (or whatever it i) still stands if you'd like to do that instead or in addition to."[/quote]

If I bail, the trip would be cancelled.

I wish we could have had all the detailed ironed out before she started inviting others. My friend is a few years older than me so many of her friends are turning 50 this year so naturally they want to celebrate together.

It just happens to be that the date of the trip is closer to my actual birthday so this would be my birthday trip too. That’s why DH is fine with my going all out. Now I can’t even go all out. [/quote]

I don't understand why the trip would necessarily be canceled if you bailed?  Why can't your friend and her friends still plan whatever trip they want?  And if it did get canceled, so what?  You can renew your offer to treat your friend to a one-on-one luxury weekend or do the luxury weekend with your DH instead.

You obviously aren't going to enjoy traveling with a large group of women you don't even know (no snark, I wouldn't either) so bail and move on.[/quote]

I have 3 kids. I can’t just go on a large international trip solo anytime. I want to go on this trip. Think far place like Australia or South Africa, once in a lifetime trip. We are going to a place that many people have never been to but always wanted to go.

My friend is not a luxury spa type person. We actually considered going to Mexico or the Caribbean but I told her we can do that anytime. [/quote]
