So I'm going to Egypt in the spring-- yay!-- but now I am in an eerily similar situation to what I found myself last spring... a friend of mine wants to go with me.
I love my friend dearly, and in all probability I would have a great time with her as she's a really cool person. But why is it that every single time I plan a trip and tell people hey, guess what I'm doing!, invariably at least one person says "fantastic-- that sounds like fun, can I come too?" (wwm -- I do
not count you in this group, dear.
) And then added to the fact that usually I am already visiting people in various destinations and jeez, I feel like social obligations are piling up already.
I realize that this is a totally selfish thing to gripe about and I'm really not horribly bothered, I just think it's interesting that this happens so often. And maybe I shouldn't bitch about having so many friends who want to spend time with me, haha.
*side note: This particular friend is also a belly dancer, and as I said before, Cairo is, essentially,
THE belly dance mecca. We have talked generally about traveling together and she has wanted to go to Egypt for
years. She has done a lot of traveling on her own as well, so I know that she would probably be a fantastic travel partner.
