Background, as a teenager my mum got me very into reading, and often promised to take me on a holiday (UK destination) to do with particular book . We used to plan the holiday out and look at prices, etc, but never actually went through with it . My mum's now v v ill and not in a position at all to go away anywhere - completely mentally incapacitated, its v unlikely she'll be here this time next year .
Very good friend of mine - without knowing conversations my mum and I had years ago - told me she loved same books, she'd gone to the same place years ago and had a wonderful time and would love to go again .
I'm half wondering about asking her in theory if she would come with me one day . Not any time soon but maybe a couple of years in the future .
Thing is though I've never spent longer than one day with friend, I've no idea how we'd get on living in the same space for 2 nights or so . I mean we get on grand together for one day, but actually spending a weekend together might be a disaster . That or she might not like the idea at all and might be weirded out by me asking . We wouldn't be coming at it from an entirely equal position iyswim and I'd worry she'd think I was merely asking her along to pay for my holiday (which isn't the case at all) .
If your friend asked you this would you find it strange? Am I daft for thinking it might be fun?
