The Odds

She wanted to go to the seaside.
She did not have neither the money, the transport or the company to do so.
She thought of it often, dreamt of it always, drew in her notebook the beautiful beach before us. 
She even rehearsed the shhh shhh of the waves crashing on the yellow stone sand.

She had planned to see a friend for quite sometimes.
She called her friend.
The friend forgot about the appointment.

Friend: 'ouuuhh I completely forgot, what a fluke but please come. We are having an event on Friday, then we are going on Saturday to the beach. Please come. I'll book an hotel for us.

Friend: Don't you worry about that, we'll have fun.

She is entertained, she goes to the beach and sleep in a nice hotel for not much.
What were the odds...
