So we are going in 2 weeks and by pure coincidence a cousin and boyfriend will be there. Wife is feeling some anxiety about it. The difference for us is both trips are booked. Sounds like you have the possibility of convincing them not to go. If so I would definitely do all I could, anniversary / 2nd honeymoon ideas sound good. If that doesn't work tell them you always thought it would be fun to go with them to _____ (fill in the blank) and ask them if they want to do that in September. You can always back out later for any number of reasons or go on a 2nd trip to Miami or New Orleans or Vegas or wherever.
Well just go with the motto of TTR...."Nobody knows you so nobody gives a Sh*%". Now iF you bring family members with you.....THEY ALREADY KNOW YOU AND THEY PROB WILL GIVE A SH%^. lol>.....just sayin! It's just such a special time and you look so forward to doing the things you usually do that if you didn't get to do them....trip was just not the same. Then again, it's just another excuse to Book Again!
I can handle friends coming wiht us. I am just honest and tell them I will be topless. Family I can't imagine any of them there with me. I just wouldn't have as much fun and it would be a bummer of a trip. I would just tell them they have to find there own resort as you a having husband and wife time without family.
I actually had a close friend (since childhood) invite herself this year, sort of. She was like "Well, I wouldn't want to invite myself, but if you wanted us to come, then we would possibly be able to come this year. But we know it's a big anniversary for you - so we don't want to intrude." You know, one of those backhanded invites. With that said, I explained that I would be topless and if that bothered her husband, then it would be better if we did something together somewhere else. She talked it over with him and decided that it would not be a good idea because he said he would feel uncomfortable. Now, I don't tell family that I get topless...but I would NEVER under ANY circumstance let ANY family member come with us... Not to TTR - it's not "family friendly" (and in many cases - not "friend" friendly either) IMHO ~Jill~
Family or friends, you REALLY have to be 99% sure that they are like minded, open minded and not prudes! That is the bottom line. We have travelled with family, my hubby's brother and his wife. We have an awesome time together but they are not prudes.. Different people have said to my husband " you come down here with your brother?" The last time I took a couple of clients with us. I had a pretty good idea that they were open minded and not prudish but I still worried even though I tried to explain the reosrt the best I could. Turns out it was one of the best vacations they ever had! trust your instincts about whomever you take down. If you don't feel comfortable or think they will....do whatever you can to avoid the situation. It will only ruin your treasured holiday and be a waste of money in the end.
Oh...wow. I'd be completely bummed out, to be honest. Is there any way you could work with the resort or airlines to change your dates so you wouldn't have to be there at the same time? I had a nightmare happen (and was way too drunk to handle it, too!) in March. Standing there topless and wasted, my husband brings over a girl who turns out to be a coworker, pointing out that another coworker who's there with her. I think my response was just "Oh, shit." Could've been handled much better, but I wasn't thinking well on my feet. I think it toned me down for an hour or so, then I operated on a "they can deal with it and I'll just deny everything if I need to" policy!
Nothing has been booked the one I'm worry about is the nephew I don't really know how he would re act to some of the fun activities or his TIA aka AUNT in very small clothes And I know the the wife won't be using the sexy outfits so with that what other hotel can I send him and his buddy????? we gone out with the female cousin and she's opened minded Vegas to TTR on a day pass my wife is talking about making them (cousin and female friend) buy some nice thong bottoms. So I can see my wife note really caring about the female cousin. Thanks for the all the advice any more suggestions please help us.
Send them to Golden Parnassus..adults only AI resort. There is some info on this site about it. I'm an aunt too and I don't even drink beer in front of my nephew.:anon: Good luck!
Depends on how you're going to explain that you want them at a different hotel. I'm assuming you're not going to say, "You need to be somewhere else so your auntie can bare her assets in public." :aktion061: Just trying to imagine myself in your shoes, I'd try to convince them that other hotels are way better choices for them. I'd point out how TTR has an older demographic and mostly couples. Then, you could send them to a "cooler" place aimed at young guys (hard rock) or a "less expensive" place (not sure, but maybe the Oasis) or somewhere "with more young, hot women instead of so many couples" (no idea what that woudl be...but they'd probably go for the reasoning).
