[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]=================== BUMP ===========================
My update is that I am going to propose that I fly to and from the town with the baby, and she comes on a much shorter trip (flying alone) so she only has to take two days of PTO.

* She is worried about traveling with a baby, but that will be my problem.
* She is worried about taking vacation days, but she will only use two of them (which is nothing at all considering that daycare is closed for 8 workdays).
* I'll drive to pick her and drop her off from/for her flights.

I feel like this is a good compromise that should address a lot of her concerns.

I will let you know what she says.[/quote]

What if she just doesn't want to travel for Christmas and she wants to be home with the baby?
Honestly it seems to me like you have a good plan for the week being fun in terms of having your family's own separate cabin, not planning on eating out with the extended family but just eating in at home, etc and if I were your wife I'd go along on this trip even if I didn't want to travel over Christmas just because it seems like you are making an effort to make it a nuclear family friendly trip and I didn't want us to be apart on Christmas.  But If I were her I wouldn't agree to waht yuo are proposing here at all, because who wants to fly cross country for just 2 days and be away from their baby on Christmas??? If I were your wife I wouldn't want you taking my baby on a plane ride away for a whole week. [/quote]
