Group vacations aren't for the faint of heart. One minute, you're all in agreement on where you'll be lodging for two weeks, and the next, you're compromising your budget by hundreds of dollars to appease a needy person in the group. No, John, you actually don't need a king bed to live. If you want a king bed, I'm not going to subsidize it. Sorry, not sorry!
If you've ever gone on a group vacation with family or friends, then you probably know how everything goes down. First, in the months leading up to the vacation, you want to save as much money as you can. Unfortunately, the months leading up to the vacation consist of 75 friends' birthdays and four separate gift-giving holidays. Somehow. Next, the itinerary you graciously created for the group is overlooked by all but one trip attendee (you), and you have no one to go snorkeling with. I guess imaginary friends don't have to be for children only…
If it couldn't get any worse, this trip is with your much wealthier siblings. They have the cash to spend on themselves, but refuse to make concessions because you can't dish out hundreds of dollars per night on lodging alone. They don't understand, so they continue to test your boundaries. This is what the woman in this next story is dealing with, but she refuses to give in to her brothers' tactics.
