Second time in two years: I had a friend trip planned and the friend canceled (last time it was because her mom died and this time she lost her job and can barely pay the rent so can't travel)
It's obviously not personal but I think I will only plan solo trips from now on :(
Now pivoting to making this one a solo trip. I'm changing it to be 7 nights instead of nine and doing two Mexican states instead of three. Glad I'm totally comfortable traveling in Mexico by myself but bummed all the same, for me and my friend.
