I dropped my dream itinerary in a group chat with three friends I'd known for just a few months. Though I was planning a solo trip, I realized it was actually the perfect destination for a glitzy girls' trip. Following the enthusiastic replies, we started seriously planning our trip to the French Riviera in another dedicated group chat. The pings from the group chat were never-ending as we attempted to merge various travel practices and budgets to fit the group.
