I live in NY and she lives in FL. We both have daughters the same age and we discussed that the next time I come back I should bring my daughter. In July I asked my friend, M. if me and my daughter could come to visit in August before school starts. (I am a teacher and my daughter and her daughter would be going back to school soon). We both checked our schedules for August and decided on a date for the visit. I booked the tickets and sent her the itinerary with the flight information. Two weeks before our visit she sent me a text message that she decided to send her daughter to camp for a couple more weeks and would have to cancel the plans for us to come there to visit. Besides the fact that my daughter was upset that the plans were cancelled, I told her that I had non-fundable tickets. She did not even acknowledge that I would be losing 550.00 for the tickets and she didn't seem to care about us, she just cared that she wanted to send her daughter to camp and we no longer mattered. I have not spoken to her since August and part of me wants to talk to her and another part of me is still upset with her. I would never cancel travel plans with her if she was visiting me. Should I be the one to call or write first? Or should I just not bother with her anymore?

I'd let her call you.
$550 is a lot of money just to throw away.
If she doesn't call then she is not ready to be real friends again, she's just ready to let you run around and visit her.
If she does get back in touch tell her she can come and visit you next time so it is fairer.
Good Luck!! xx
