[quote=Anonymous]I just booked flights (San Francisco to Savannah, GA) to take my kids to see my parents over spring break, but could cancel within 24 hrs.

My husband could join us, but he’ll have to work some of the time and after taxes and fees the flights are really pricey ($870 each).

We flew East at Christmas time and didn’t travel for the week they had off in a February except for a weekend in cabins in the woods that we all loved. My kids asked if we could have more time at the cabins over spring break. It’s hard to get away for weekends in the spring without missing soccer.

I would *like* a non-flying week where we go to the cabins for a few days, maybe drive a bit further up the coast, and maybe have a day or two exploring San Francisco (we’re 30-40 mins outside the city and the kids have never spent any real time there).

But my mom’s memory has been failing for years (her short term memory is fairly non existent) and the next time we plan to see her isn’t until August. She gets really lonely.

My two siblings’ kids have different spring breaks from my kids and they all plan to visit later in April. They’ve applied a fair bit of pressure to visit and I’d like to give my dad a break but it will be hard (flying cross country with my 9 and 13 year olds and entertaining them to some degree plus helping to care for my mom).

On the other hand, I have no idea how long a visit with my mom will be possible.

Would you do the cross country trip? Bring your husband? Do a family trip / staycation locally and schedule a different long weekend to fly alone?

Thanks! [/quote]
