She was already packed and looking forward to it. No reason given. In the past she had decided not to travel, but would not give a reason. We learned it was financial. That is no longer an issue. She was packed and had purchased new items for this specific trip. We were all looking forward to it. Today she called to say that she didn't want to go on the trip, and will not give a reason other than I just don't want to go. This is very upsetting. Not sure what is going on with her. I don't know how to handle this. I would like her to accompany us because I believe she would enjoy the experience. We just spent 3 weeks with her and she spent enjoyable time with us. I don't know what is going on.

You don't mention what kind of travel, whether it's by car, air or sea. The mode of transportation may have something to do with her decision as well. Riding long hours in a car from one destination to another would be tiring.
Regardless, I wouldn't embarrass her by pressing for an answer. You might, though, try for just short trips, such as a day trip, which wouldn't be as tiring.
You also don't mention if you're in the same geographic area as her iL facility; if she'll be away from the familiar surroundings of her apartment at IL, that might be a justification for her as well.
Don't be surprised though if she calls you at the last moment and says she has decided to go. Things can go back and forth with older people.
