Friend and holiday

[ShyViewer]

How do I very politely but firmly turn down my friend’s suggestion/request that she accompany me on holiday? Thanks all

Needs more details. Are you holidaying alone?

Brenda, I've booked this holiday for some time for myself. I don't want any company.

Nothing booked yet but usually holiday alone and intend to continue doing so

So just tel her you need some me time, time out, switch off, no distractions etc.

id just say ‘oh I’m really sorry sue but I really love to go on holiday on my own just for a complete break from work and everything else. Hope you understand, let’s get together for dinner soon? Let me know when you’re free’

I prefer to holiday alone, sorry.

Thank you, I like this

There have been some horrendous threads about friends going on holiday together that have different ideas as to what a holiday entails.
Just tell her that your solo holidays are going to continue and that's not a reflection on your friendship with her it's just that you'd rather keep the two separate.
