Regretting travel plans with her

Im 28(f) and my sister is 27(f).

My sister recently left her job to go back to medical school but she does have a significant amount of savings.

I work fulltime, and just got out of a relationship. I am heartbroken and trying my best to stay positive even though I feel hopeless most days.

I told me sister I was going to Cancun and Costa Rica in August. I told her this in April. It was meant to be solo but she wanted to come.
I made her aware that this trip would cost on average of £4,000 each,
She agreed.
She's travelled to Portugal, Croatia and Malta this year.
I only went to Switzerland in January and I need this holiday for my mental wellbeing.

After flights it was £3,000 left each. I told her to pay. £2,650 and I will cover the rest for her.

Today, she only paid me £1,500 and we fly in 3 weeks. When questioned she raged at me telling me she left her job and that I work fulltime - what has that got to do with anything. I have a future to think about too. She started swearing and calling me names after I said that her anger was being misdirected.

I already support my mother financially. I don't need her leeching off me two considering she purchased 2 Louis Vuitton bags 2 months ago.

I did yes, she's explained to me after the dust settled that she will pay me by next week. After that, this will unfortunately be our last trip together - from here on out its gonna be solo or with a guided group because this was way more stress that what its worth.

Good at least you established that I will be the last trip together. If she doesn't pay you back, then it will finally be clear of how much she values you

I did.

And I feel I made a mistake. I should have proceeded to travel alone.

Update:

She's frustrated that she can't afford the trip anymore and proceeded to attack me physically. Throwing glass cups and plates, breaking them on me to a point where I have sustained several injuries and do not feel safe at home. I am having to stay at a friends house.

She lashed out on me and said she would rather travel with her friends and then threw the fact that my ex boyfriend "played me" in my face and body shamed me out of spite,

It took me months to put this itinerary together. But I think for my safety and peace of mind, I cannot travel with her because I could have died yesterday if my mother was not there to partially mediate.
