Umm, yeah, I have a lot of people who want to stay at my house too. I started telling them no because it's not really a vacation for me when people stay over, it's just work. Now I say that's not going to be possible, how about we meet for lunch or something. People are just not worth the headache.

Understand completely, op. We used to live way out on Long Island in NYC and the 40 some odd years lived there we never had guests who were invited. They've ALL been uninvited, most times messing up our quite holiday plans or plans for summer vacations. They all know how far away we lived from NYC but still feel entitled to be taken there for sightseeing and the like, and none of them have ever picked up the tab for these expensive excursions. And after these costly trips to NYC, they seemed real put out if they did not have a continuous source of diversions planed for each and every other day of their uninvited visit. That meant shopping trips to area malls, stores - restaurants where they never paid for the food. Oh, and Long Island does have an airport, but they never use it because flights to it were always more since all carriers did not have service. So we'd have to hump it over to the NYC airports often times at night because they only cared about their saving money on the cheapest flight possible, not any convenience for us for the inconvenience of their uninvited trip.
