Re: holidays with friends
When I was in my early twenties I went touring Europe on a motorbike with a friend a couple of times. The first year there were just the two of us and we got on fine, the second year he invited one of his friends and so there were three of us and we didn't get on at all. I stopped seeing that friend when we got home.Re: holidays with friends

Re: holidays with friends
I have been on various holidays with various friends over the years and never really had any major problems. If there has been something we both, or all, wanted to see or do, then we have gone together, but quite often we would do our own thing and meet up for dinner in the evening. I think it fair to say I´m very easy going most of the time and if someone is really annoying me I "switch off". The important thing, I think, is to ensure that you get enough time and space to yourself, or that you are comfortable enough with the other person/s to have your niggles without permanently breaking a friendship. We have had this happen with a pair of our oldest friends, who were more like family. This was due to a third party making up stories but unfortunately our friends chose to believe the third party. When the wife of our friends phoned to "have a go at me", I told her only that she must decide who to believe and said I´ll leave it with you, then I put the phone down. It took almost 4 years for her to realise that the third party was a huge trouble maker, it probably took a lot less but the courage to admit she was wrong took more time. However last summer she finally plucked up courage, I see no point in bearing grudges and now things are more or less back to normal. These particular friends actually moved here 10 years ago, we had all known each other most of our lives.
