Do any of you have experiences travelling with a friend and it turns out bad?
When I was working in the health care field I had a co worker named Lily who I often bumped into while working with seniors in apartment blocks etc. Anyways we got along and she seemed nice.. or so I thought. She wanted to go to Mexico so we both saved over the summer and booked for February. Everything seemed fine at first.
We were in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for one week. Our room faced the pool and not the ocean. That was the first beef with her. If we wanted a ocean view it would cost more and she didn't want to pay the extra when we initially booked and I didn't really care if I had ocean or pool view.
Then I found out she was quite racist. Making comments about Mexican people. I am not a racist person and felt very upset by her comments. She was even making comments on the public bus and not in quiet tones. I was mortified and wanted to crawl off that bus. A local woman told her off ( I don't blame her) and my friend afterwards was all *****y about it (serves her right)
One day we visited a jewelry store and looked at silver braclets etc. I bought two items of jewelry. Lily was trying on several bangles etc because she knew her sister at home would want one. While she was looking, I mentioned I was going to the shop next door. She met me outside and we walked back to the hotel. Half way back she started saying 'Omg! Omg!' I said 'What's wrong!?" She said " I have a braclet on my wrist!" She was wearing a long sleeve shirt and said she didn't notice the braclet and thought she must have left it on my mistake. Part of me thought maybe she did and the other half wondered if she stole it. I thought oh great, just what I need for the police to knock at the door. It didn't happen.
One the last night of our vacation we ate at the fancier restaurant on the hotel site. She didn't like the wine and instead of leaving it on the table, she picked up her glass and tossed the wine into the gorgeous garden behind us. I thought how tactless. The waiter saw her and shook his head.
Anyways that was the last time I went on vacation with her. If I had been there a second week with her, I would have turned her into a pinata, lol.
