[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get both where OP is coming from and where some of the incredulous posters are coming from.

It's the kind of thing that sounds amazing but I see what OP is saying about the devil being in the details. Someone providing a nanny sounds great... unless you have a kid who gets extra clingy and suspicious of strangers when tired or out of routine. OP knows her kids and feels the trip would be really hard for her. As the mom to a kid on the spectrum who was pretty hard at those ages, I'm inclined to trust her instincts. Sometimes childcare isn't the solution you hope it will be because of your specific kid.

OP, is there any way you can talk her into a slightly shorter trip closer to home? A nice resort in Jamaica or Mexico? Or an Alaskan cruise? Something that might be easier on the kids and you but still scratch her itch for a big trip.[/quote]

I'm in this camp as well.  Some kids get clingy and cranky when off schedule and in weird places.  A nanny doesn't help in those scenarios.  But I do think that OP needs to sit down with sister and explain what the issues are, so that perhaps they can come up with a better option.[/quote]
