Elusive Macau!

Forces in the universe seem to be conspiring to prevent me from flying to Macau this December.

Each and every potential travel companion has backed out for varying reasons.

My family could not make it due to work commitments.
Sam wanted to, tried to make it work but things didn't pan out.
Steph said yes initially but had to back out because of personal stuff.
Rey said yes but had to take it back because of a darned Salary Review deadline! He would've been the perfect companion because he's already jumped off that tall building and has lived to tell the tale! He can give me the much needed moral support as I try it.
Anji, to my surprise, was raring to go with me, but also had to back out because of an unexpected change in family plans.

Aaaargghh. Why oh why?? Should I force the issue? Or is this some sort of message that going off to this lovely, lovely place when all signs point to stay would be a grave mistake? Sam's prophecy of doom is kind of scary.

Maybe I should just save my money for something else. :'(
