I'm lucky that's never happened to me - this year was the first time I'd ever traveled with anyone but myself (4 months with my fiance and 2 weeks with a couple of friends) and everything went pretty well. A few ups and downs sure, but on the whole I still have my friends and a go-ahead wedding this year! Nicki, I’ve heard of many a friend returning home not on speaking terms!

We had very different expectations and budgets. She had twice as much money as I did, and wanted to stay & do more luxurious things, and when her money & credit card maxed out about 2 weeks before we were supposed to go home (and I still had my well- budgeted saving to last the rest of the trip). This made her so furious! I will never forget walking aournd Disneyland arguing about whether it was worthwhile to get a photo with Goofy, or if it was a a waste of time to listen to Ariel read a story to us. Disney was not very magical! I will never forget boozy nights coming back to our hotel with her already in our hotel room with a local San Diegan, or Las Vegan, or New Yorker, or Arizonian disgracing the sheets. I ended up travelling mostly alone in the years to follow and only more recently I have been select with my travelling buddies, and the length of the vacation. Much happier times. I have learnt my best travelling companion is myself, closely followed by my sisters, who don;t really give a crap if I'm in a filthy mood in the morning- they're used to it!

I spent 4 months going round the world with my fiance and the poor guy was driven to the brink of exhaustion with too many 'lets get up and watch the sunrise' requests when all he wanted to do was relax!

It's kind of weird and unnatural to spend 24 hours a day with anyone so of course you're going to get over hanging out with people... any people... even your favourite people!
