Maybe she wanted it to be just the two of you.

Bringing along another older adult is kind of like making her the third wheel. I know if I were OP, just having some daughter-parent time sounds more fun and a lot less awkward.

i wouldn't blame her, i wouldn't want to go on vacation with someone i didn't like either. you should have made sure shes ok with him coming.

I don't care if I like the person, if a parent had "surprised" me like that, I would be unhappy too. I would just keep it to myself instead. I would ask her why her reaction is so strong, instead of making her feel bad for it. That's just my take on it though, plenty of people have differing reactions.

He is obviously NOT her favorite uncle.

As a college student, I have plenty of family members who my parents think I love but in actuality don't like, but I can stand to deal with them in short periods of time, so I usually just ignore them. If her reaction is that strong, though, then there is a reason for it (though not necessarily pedophilia like everyone is saying). Talk to her and find out why so this situation doesn't happen again

Step 1: Leave ungrateful brat at the airport. Step 2: have relaxing vacation, if both of you are single take turns being each others wingman. Step 3: Have the most relaxing and fun vacation ever, you deserve it.

guys it doesn't even have to be that the uncle is a perv. maybe the girl was just very excited to go on vacation with just her and her mom

Aaaand instead of looking for the cause of her behavior, you whine to an online community about your lack of care as a parent? Maybe look into the behavior, because something could have happened between them or something could have happened between the last time you've seen her that is making her upset about him being there.
