Haha he doesnt work for Flight Centre does he? If he does then im going to the same trip! Hahaha
How funny would this be!

Miss E, I totally get the un-fun-ness ( ) of dragging a 2.5yo over there for 5 days while DH is off partying. That would so not appeal to me either. My DH is a diver and goes across to Mt Gambier (SA - we are in Melb) for diving weekends a couple of times a year. He keeps telling me I should come too but it is much the same, I would get the delight of looking after two kidlets while he is off having fun diving. No thanks, it is easier to just stay home!

I think your decision to give it a bit more time is a good one!
