ummm...pissed.
first of all, i don't even know if this is *worth* getting mad at, because i don't know what the outcome will be, but in the mean time, i will vent, okay? thanks.
so i've mentioned before that h and i have a really irresponsible friend and it just bugs me! when we planned our mexico trip, we left it as an open-invite to our friends, anybody that wanted to come with, could, but the rooms are 2 per room, so they'd have to find a buddy, not our responsibility.
so we have this friend G who is somewhat responsible, and he is good friends with R. G, R, and my H went to hs together, and they've all remained friends. G and H are good friends, R is a bachelor for life, and seems to hate the idea that h is having a baby, so we haven't seen him, really in the last few months.
G had solicited R to be his plus-one for mexico..and R agreed. R didn't have the money right away, G agreed to book it for R and have R pay him back later (R has owed G thooousssanndss of dollars before, and eventually paid it off, with interest, so it wasn't a *huge* deal). the tickets are non-refundable, and non-transferable.
well today R is cancelling on G. R hasn't paid yet...i don't know what the situation is, but H said G might move into our room. i'm not okay with that. i am NOT okay with that. i like to walk around nekky in hotel rooms, esp after swimming, and i do *not* want to sacrifice that to move somebody into our room. by adding a third person into our room, we only save $30/pp. that is NOT worth it.
i might be stressing for no reason, because the tickets are non-returnable, non transferrable, so i have no idea what the situation will be. i'm hoping G can just go alone, and pay "double" and have his own room. i do NOT want to share!!!!

Re: ummm...pissed.
As I see it G knew there was a potential that R wouldn't pay him back, or would backout, so I say G eats it and pays double for his own room. Or finds someone who can go on short notice.
Sharing a room wouldn't even be an option.
This. The situation with R wasn't your fault (or your H's). I hope G can find someone else to room with, because R sounds like a really crappy friend for leaving G the bunk end of the stick.

This.. and i'd still make R pay me back if i were G. G could easily bring another person, they'd just have to find a flight right? Then he could have that person share the hotel with him.
I would NOT share rooms. So is it going to just be you, H, and G?
I read this earlier in the day but work was so busy I couldn't respond until now so I might be remembering details fuzzy.
I think the person bailing out needs to just fork the money over. I'm dealing with a similar situation right now. We planned a 3 day/2 night trip to Whistler and people /committed/ to going, so I booked a house that could accommodate all of us, plus a few more on the floor in case.
6 people have dropped out right now and we're a big fat chunk of money in the hole and I'm pissed. All the people who dropped out are D's friends (his friends were also the biggest problems when RSVPing for our wedding or bringing unexpected guests at the last minute).
So coming from that situation? I'm being a B. No, you should not share rooms. He should get his own room and the other guy that flaked out? He needs to just buck up and pay up if he decided to go. That kind of irresponsible behavior leaves me livid.

This shouldn't become your problem.
