Congratulations on your well deserved "vacation." I am very envious, sinful though that may be! I have been trying for over seven years to get someone to take my wife( their mom) for a week but they have adamantly declined saying they know about her separation anxiety and wouldn't want to insist and make her uncomfortable. I don't know how to get that vacation without going nuts and being sent to the looney bin. Just kidding.
Enjoy it, and good for you for making the arrangements, that certainly takes courage.
