If you were invited to take a trip with total strangers,
would you go? Ten friends from Bristol (on the southwestern coast of England) decided
to holiday together on the Spanish island of Mallorca. After the vacation had been
booked and paid for, they discovered one friend – Joe McGrath – wouldn’t be
able to join them. Joe’s ticket was non-refundable, so his friends did the only
sensible thing. They trolled the Internet looking for a new mate with the same
name. They found a 21-year-old Joe McGrath living in Manchester (roughly four
hours north of Bristol) and asked him to join the party. At first Joe hesitated,
but eventually he came around, saying, "Something like this will never
happen again. I’d always regret if I didn't do it." He and his new friends
had a terrific time. "They’re such a great bunch of people," Joe
said. "There might be more holidays in future."
