I have a “girls” vacation planned for next Spring with my Mom and 2 other adult family members. I am planning to bring DD who will be 18 months then. I know I will have a much more fun, relaxing vacation if I leave her at home (and DH has suggested I leave her with him). But I am just not sure if I will be ready to leave her. What would you do?
DS was 2 when I left him for vacation the first time, and I cried when I left but had a wonderful and much needed trip with my Mom. Really my only hesitation is that I am hoping to still be breast feeding then (DS was 21 months when he stopped, and I was good with that) and I don’t want my vacation to be the thing that ends that for us.
It is a peak travel time and I will need to buy plane tickets soon, otherwise I would just wait until the last minute to decide. It is a cruise, and I don’t know if her part of it would be refundable less than 3-4 months out, but that is not a deal breaker for me. I had planned to get her a plane ticket. Though I guess I could buy myself some time by not buying her a ticket. Or I might be able to get it with miles on Southwest which would make it refundable? I would likely choose a different flight (on a different day to a different airport) for myself though if she weren’t coming.
