Would you stop planning?

My friend and I have been trying to schedule a visit for months now. She lives in Ontario, Canada, and I'm in Central NY. We've visited each other many times before, but haven't seen each other since September.
Back in February my family was planning to go to Canada to see her, but the day before we planned to leave, I was horribly sick and had to cancel.
She was supposed to come down here this past weekend, but due to a stomach bug, she had to cancel.
Now we're talking about another visit mid-May... but she's paranoid about making actual plans. She thinks if we just do it and not plan it, it will work out, but if we actually make plans, something will happen and we'll have to cancel.
Would you be paranoid about making plans if you had to cancel your plans twice already?

I sure hope we can keep the plans too. We don't have much chance to go back to Canada anymore, since starting in June we'll need passports to get past the border, and those are expensive!

Hey kats! You know maybe she does have a bit of a point!
Maybe if you make sort of plans, but not completely definite
and then just go it might work out better! I am always afraid
to make plans for that reason! Something always comes up to
mess it up! So if you just decide kind of at the last minute
maybe you will actually get to see each other! It just might
work!

There's been a couple times we've decided just last minute to do something, and those times didn't always work out so great either. One time she came down to visit me, and almost couldn't make it back home... long story. But yeah, we haven't set any actual plans yet, just sort of discussing the possibility of plans.

I probably would be a little paranoid. but atleast your things that went wrong was just someone being sick. With a family as big as your that is bound to happen lol. I think I would be more worried if say cars kept breaking down or if you are flying and the plane has problems or something. I say keep planning it. My best friend lives 8 hrs away and I wish that I could see her more often.

i dont think you should stop planning. You should pick a date that both of you have nothing planned and "book it". its is just a cowinkidink if one of you gets ill and dont make a big deal of it and try to schedule a nothing time.
