that a girl I know in Arizona is going to join us one day when we hit up the grand canyon.

It's suppose to be a guys trip and we're gonna get to bond and shit during the rest of our trip, but I haven't seen this girl in years and she's gonna take a day off of work to hang out with the gang and me.

They haven't outright said it, but they aren't happy that she's gonna hang out with us for a day. One mentioned: "I thought we weren't hanging out with girlfriends on the trip." (He doesn't have a girlfriend btw)

I mean I understand the desire for utilitarianism if you haven't seen this lady friend in some time, but it sounds like the expectations of this trip with your friends was pretty laid out.

Granted, I think it's perfectly reasonable one of the five days of a trip is to meet up with local friends in the area--that's just sensible. But I think the grand canyon was probably their "highlight" of the trip, so it is kind of shitting on your friends there.

Okay - that's very fair and I can see where they're coming from. She's seen the grand canyon before so I don't think it wouldn't be a deal if she tagged along another day.

Why don't you not have her tag along at all and just meet up with her separately for dinner or something apart from the group

It's sad that you still have friends that routinely put themselves above the possibility of cock blocking you. I would find new friends.


I kinda agree! They know about this girl and it's just one day...

I'm gonna end up doing that most likely. She's the outdoors type and loves to hikes so I thought it would be fine.

I really hate the idea of a "guys trip" or "girls night" or any other thing like that
it's almost always pushed by either people who are unhappily single or unhappily in a relationship, no one who's content with life seems to push for it

Yeah...it was my coworkers idea and while I like them and don't mind traveling with them; I also saw the opportunity to see a girl I haven't seen in years.

Every group has the "it was supposed to be just the bros!" guy. Sounds like your group got all those guys.

They should go off and see the GC while you two go and shenanigan about. Unless you really want to see it too.

If you get a chance, swing by Sedona. It's on the way-ish, to the GC. Pretty killer sunsets and great hiking paths. Extremely hippy town. Like healing crystal shops are on every corner like a starbucks, but it's still a cool little town in spite of it.

if you agreed to a guys trip, brining along a girl is a dick move and just looks either needy or annoying.
