Unexpected?

"...sometimes you only see what you want to see in someone, and it works until you leave the bar or you learn their last name." (Page 62)

This quote reminds me of how in the beginning, she was so excited about Magdalena and how she thought Magdalena would be such an awesome girl. But, it didn't turn out to be like that. She was only seeing what she wanted to see in Magdalena as well as the trip. She had dreams for the trip that it would be so amazing, and it turned out to be the total opposite.
Do you think her trip would have been better without Magdalena?? Do you think she would have had more fun and enjoyed her trip without being timed and what not during her trip?
