[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would suggest you start letting go of the “family vacation” idea at this point, especially one that requires a lot of expense and advance planning. That’s not really compatible with adult life. [/quote]

YES. This.
He is 25. TWENTY-FIVE, OP.

I know times are different inasmuch as we have infantilized young men and women in their 20s at this point, but that you are seeking "alone time" and "family vacation" with your son without the romantic partner that he shares a life with is actually the issue here.
If they were married, you would never even think about floating the idea of whether he should come without her. At this point, it's nice of you to offer a trip and offer to pay for his ticket (but completely not necessary). But if you offer to pay for him and invite him along then you offer to pay for her and inviter her along too because they are playing house as though they are married. They aren't roommates.
If it turns out that they break up, well then you are out a ticket.
But as other posters have said, that's a small price to pay to start out on the right foot with the girlfriend/potential daughter-in-law.[/quote]
