Fighting over vacation! Frustrated! Help!?
Question by Brooke: Fighting over vacation! Frustrated! Help!?
Alright I’ll try to keep this short and sweet, so my boyfriend wants to go visit his best friend in another state for our vacation and I want to go somewhere tropical. I love his best friend and girlfriend, they are some of my closest friends as well. Let’s just say where they live isn’t my idea of a “vacation”.
It would cost about $ 400 / person to fly there. We would have a place to stay for part of the trip, but still pay for a ton of food, activities, hotel etc. yet, obviously the cheaper choice.
I really want to go to an all-inclusive resort. Possibly in Mexico, Bahamas, Caribbean , you get the picture – tropical (Hell, I’d even go to Florida). I’m not asking to go to this marvelous 5 star resort or anything like that. The only reason I say all inclusive is because he said it’d be too expensive otherwise. I’m planning for three months in advance and am finding prices around $ 700-$ 800 for a 7 day stay in decent all inclusive resorts.
I am also willing to ask the couple to come along with us (lowering the price, by sharing a room) but they say they can’t afford any trip.
We need a mediator. Am I being too selfish?

I’m with you……..Head for the tropics…….There are so many great deals out there, and in the long run it will cost you less.
If you were to go visit your friends, the air fare + all additional expenses will far exceed any inclusive vacation you can find.
If your friends cannot afford to go, then plan something for another time with them.
