[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here ... thanks for the wide variety of responses.  I should have clarified that I am not opposed to him going for a day or weekend trip.  He is now talking about a trip to Colorado (which was news to me).  Which does not sound like a weekend trip.  Nor, due to the elevation issues that PPs have raised, one that feels comfortable for someone who will be very pregnant at the time.  We also don't have unlimited vacation time, or money, so I would like to spend the time and money that we do have doing something that we both want to do.  Esp because it will be our last opportunity before the baby arrives.

I was all for him going...but how much PTO does he have saved up for when the baby is born? Because *that's* where his limited PTO needs to go.

One day to extend a weekend for skiing? Maybe, but not if he's only planning to spend a week or so home with you and the baby. Better to ski closer to home. [/quote]

Only a week at home with the baby?  [b]That seems like a lot to me, but that's a separate discussion I guess.

If he has his heart set on a trip out west and you are OK with it, if he goes to Utah instead of Colorado it really is doable for a long weekend.  With the time zone change and direct flights, he can get in a half day, the day he lands plus 2-3 full days of skiing.

But I see your point about using limited vacation time and funds on a trip you can't really enjoy.  If skiing has been a big part of your lives in the past, I kind of get it, but otherwise - pick something you can both do and then you don't have to wait until you are really pregnant.[/quote]

You think a new father taking A WEEK off after the baby is born is a lot? That says a lot about you. [/quote]
