What are the chances

Seven-of-Seven would be outgoing, gregarious, inquisitive, and appreciative. They introduced themselves to each other, made friends, were curious about the tour, and enjoyed each other's company.
From the left:
Caio ( I thought his name was pronounced like the Italian word for good-bye. But it's, pronounced "kay-ee-oh") a software engineer from Sao Paulo
Kathy, a school administrator from San Antonio
KyanLang, an accountant from Madison, Wisconsin
Julie, from Toronto and Nadir from Montreal - both engineers attending the Green -build Conference in Phoenix.
Kyle, a mechanical engineering student and Lisa, a sports medicine student at NAU.
They enjoyed each other's company and were all generally fun to be with.
My van is always a microcosm. What is the odd chemistry that leads to reward or punishment? Why are some groups so much fun to be with and some are such a chore? There's no predictor. I dreaded this group because all but Kyle and Lisa were travelling single, which usually bodes that they'll isolate.
















Caio, Julie, and KyanLang exploring red rocks in Sedona.













Caio's first time to see snow ( I know, but he thought it was a big deal, so we stopped the bus.)





C'mon, Let's Vogue, everybody strike a pose!













Even the animals vogue.


















The common denominator on all my trips is ME but I can't predict which groups will be a reward to be with and which will be a punishment. What can I do?
