I am going to Israel for Sukkos with my family as a vacation and everybody is trying to tag somebody along with us. It can be a neigbors daughter or son that is in Israel for a year or a couple or a family that wants to go on vacation and get a free ride. I cook every Shabbos the entire year and every Yom Tov so now that I'm going away I feel like not hosting a soul. I just want to relax and enjoy not worrying about cooking, serving or warming food up. Am I being rude by not wanting to host anybody or am I really obligated to say yes to everybody that hints or asks straight out. Our requests can be from moving in with us, eating many meals or just a meal. I don't feel comftorable having strangers sleep on the couch in a small apartment or is this my obligation? If I was to stay in a hotel I am supposed to foot the bill?

Learn to say no with confidence.

You can offer to meet up with said person during the day for ice cream if you feel like it. That's if they want your company, and not the free ride.

No, you're not being rude at all!
Are you just feeding immediate family? Say you promised the family it would be just you. Or you wish you could invite guests but have no room. Or don't take the hint or continue the conversation. Or go with ice cream-- great idea. You are not a restaurant!!

You have every right to say "no". You are on vacation. This is your time alone with your family. The poster who said meeting up for ice cream had a good idea. And that's as far as you should go.
