let go of some of it

my son (age 29) and a group of his college friends are scattered all across the country ... they've discussed/arranged long-weekend getaways in person and an ongoing group chat for years, and regular Zoom meetups since Feb/Mar of this year

typically, they collectively decide on a destination and date (and yes, not everyone has been able to join the group at every event), one person makes the AirBnB arrangements, and everyone is on their own for getting there (drive/fly/train/whatever, synching up arrival/departure times. etc)

OP can set up the group chats, OP can host the Zoom meetups, OP can make the AirBnB reservation, and OP can make flight recommendations ... friends need to be invested in some of the planning as well
