[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the hurt feelings, OP.  Certainly in the moment.

But stepping back, it's possible you're reading too much into this.  There are a quite a few people who I like, or love, that I really don't want to travel with.  I know them well, and we have very different ideas of what is a fun vacation.  I would never go on vacation like this with my own sister - we would, starting at the time we wake up, want to do completely different things all day.  I'm thrilled to visit her and hang out, for multiple days, but spending $$$ to flu to Ireland, for what sounds like a once in a lifetime trip - I want to spend it how I want to, and she's entitled to that too.

So it's entirely possible that they love and like you, but have very different travel expectations and preferences, and realize that you aren't good travel companions for his trip.  It sounds like you implicitly recognize that is true as well.  Some trips are about spending the time with your companions, while others, the focus is on the place you're visiting.  Sounds like this is the later.

Just a possibility to consider.  [/quote]

This is a very sensible post and a very reasonable possibility.

OP, I would be hurt too. I would try to step back from the situation, feel all the feelings involved, and then see where things stand. [/quote]
