You may make a blood pact to not go home with anyone before leaving your hotel room, but you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and drunk spring breakers. And it's easy to lose people when everyone's wearing the same outfit (as in… barely anything at all). The Find My Friends app — which lets you track your bud's phone using GPS, letting you see their location at all times — may seem kind of creepy in real life, but on vacation it's just being safe.
