I have a yearly trip I take with my sister. This will be the 4th year. We usually go 5-6 days, coming home late on the last day so we make that the beach day.
This year she shortened it to 4 days (I found out when she sent the hotel reservation - she typically pays for the hotel and I pay for the activities we have to schedule in advance - kayaking, horseback riding, etc.).
Which is fine in itself.
I usually plan the activities and where we eat, so that we don't have to bike all over creation each day - we bike to an area of the island and do everything there that day. I'm a kick-ass planner, BTW. I'll coordinate the shit out of something!
So the plan is for her to fly to me, then we drive from here (5 hour drive).
She usually flies in the night before, stays with a friend near the airport (which is on the way from my house) and I pick her up early that day.
SO! CHANGE OF PLANS 1 I have to pick her up from the airport (freak out) it is an hour from me and her flight gets in at TEN PM. (I usually get to bed at 8:30).
breathe okay. cool. cool. I can do this.
I am in a mile-a-day run challenge, so I am getting up early to run before we leave. So this cuts into my sleep fairly heavily, since I'll have to get up at 3am (run plus the rehab stretches I have to do DAILY or else I can't run. I have a half marathon in three weeks too.)
CHANGE OF PLANS 2 She wants to see this new area we haven't been to before. Cool. I look at the schedule and decide to take out horseback riding for this. Cool, right?
SHE JUST SENT ME THIS EMAIL OF how she thinks it's going to go... ALL our usual activities PLUS this new (half day) activity.
OH AND DID I FORGET TO MENTION that she scheduled her flight home for 5pm on the last day!! 2 hours security plus 5 hours driving = WE HAVE TO LEAVE AT 10AM ON OUR LAST DAY.
So TL/DR, I'm cramming 6.5 days of activity into 2.5 days and am expected to drive and do activities on 3 hours of sleep.
I can't even look at the schedule right now because whenever I do I can't breathe. There is no room for air. If I try to reason with her she will just argue times with me and it will end up this way anyway, just with us really mad at each other.
oh god. why.
