Why would I want to go when I did once and hated it.I went the first year and hated it. I do not like my sister-in-law's family. I find her family to be rude and controlling. They also try to get me to spend a lot of time with my sister-in-law's brother who is 8 years younger than me (I don't like being around people that young). I am nice too them, but I hate being around them.In Cancun, I also got really sick of mixture of too much sun (my body doesn't do good in a hot enviroment like Cancun) and food poison. When I get sick, I am not a person you want to be around (I am easily piss off when I am sick). There is also not a lot for me to due in Cancun since I do not like the water and I do not like to go out partying at bars. I live in the New Orleans area, if I want to go out drinking and partying, I will go to Bourbon Street. So the whole drinking and partying thing is not a big deal since I can do it anytime I want for the past seven years (since I was 18).So how do I get my family and my sister-in-law's family to stop trying to get me to go to Cancun with them? Why can't they just understand that both families are better off if I do not go (I am better off not going too)? You would think after I refuse to be talked into going for the 3 years in a row that they would just give up trying to talk me into going to Cancun. Reply to this Question

 "Thank you for thinking of me and it's so flattering and special that you want my company; but alas, Cancun and I do not get along. I get physically ill when I'm there and I simply do not enjoy myself as much as I'm sure you are hoping. I know you keep asking and asking, and again, while I find that very flattering and endearing, I'm afraid my answer will still be no.
"Please go and have a good time, feel assured that I am happier and healthier here at home and I wish you all the best. Take lots of pictures and we can discuss the wonderful things you did when you get back.
"If you keep trying to talk me into going, it's only going to frustrate you and wind up irritating me and that won't do any of us any good. So my final word on the subject is no, I'm not joining you in Cancun this year or next or the year after that. Thank you for thinking enough of me that you want my company, but this is a closed topic now for me. Thank you for respecting my decision. Love you guys!"
