Okay, I have mixed feelings about this. One trip I went on with some people I barely knew who were new friends. It was my Las Vegas trip.  Day two something bad happens, and I end up wandering the town by myself, convinced I need not be on a trip with friends again.  It's one year later and the trip to Encenada comes up.  I cannot express how  excited I was to go, and I told myself one more try. I have been hanging out with these people for a year.  So I end up rooming with a woman lawyer who actually kept to herself, and we got along just great.  We are still friends to this day.  I also made some other friends on this cruise with our larger group of friends. Some I knew, some I didn't. but the group kept growing every day.  There was maybe one last night when everyone got grumpy and things weren't like they should be, but we all tossed it up to being the last night on the ship, and we made it through without any major drama.  Everyone is closer now from that experience.  You are not alone or lonely when you are with your friends, and you can stay out later than if you were traveling alone, and worrying about being alone as a w omen in a strange place.  I cannot express how great it is to be with your friends when you are traveling.  There's a freedon there, and it's kind of neat.  Those friends, we all took home memories, together, apart, single moment memories. Memories that will last us a lifetime.  Please consider some time in your life traveling with the people you've been hanging out with for awhile.  You will have a much different experience, than traveling alone.  I had a blast, and I know each and every one of you can, too.  Writwe to me about your friend – travel experiences. i would like to hear other's stories, too.
