Oh, lawd! I have a friend like that, afraid of everything, refuses to try anything new. She went to Negril with me once, and that was the last time. Wouldn't leave the hotel, complained about the vendors, there were too many bugs, the sand was too hot, the loud music kept her up all night, food tasted "funny," etc., etc., etc. I had hoped that once we got there she would come out of her shell, but, in fact, she got more phobic and expected me to ease her fears. I thought she was being overly paranoid, so pretty much did my own thing, which was fine by me. That is when I started taking solo trips and have really found that is the best way to go!
