Getting out of a trip I've committed to

Ten years back I got out of a similar trip. A group of six friends who decided what a great time we would have with the “alpha” friends wine expertise and my knowledge of Italian art and language. As the trip plans morphed with wine boy at the helm it turned into something that I had no chance to afford or even enjoy.( five star hotels and restaurants everyday). I made the mistake of bowing out with an explanation and they thought that I was attempting to negotiate a different trip so the phone calls and discussions dragged on. I wish I had just said “can’t give you the details right now and I am really disappointed, but the trip is not going to happen for me.” (ultimately it worked out and I did not go)
