[quote=Anonymous]OP, you're right that the character of the trip totally changes when you have kids with you. If you want to go on an "adult" trip - and by adult, I mean long dinners, some of which start at 9:00, drinks, cocktails in the afternoon, complete lack of a schedule or plan some days, museums or other activities that a 4 yo would HATE - there's nothing wrong with leaving your kids with a trusted caregiver (which is of course a prerequisite). We've done it - once for 4 days, once for a week, and once for 11 days - the 5 day and 11 day trips were international. There are plenty of people who will tell you that your kids will be traumatized by this, and question your parenting skills. Please know that those people are crazy/insecure/transferring their own issues to you. If you WANT to bring your kids, then there's nothing wrong with that, of course. But it's equally fine to go on your own. (FWIW, that's what I would do.) [/quote]
