"I think I need to get a good ding rate and take off to florida to visit my friend. just need to float in her pool and gab and drink pitchers of sangria."
DO IT. And do it now. H is taking off to Vegas, so you go fly to St. Somewhere. Book a date with him to take the kids, and just say (I think you did this with the DB meeting), I am planning a trip (not where!) and need to lock some dates down. I am thinking after DB meeting, before Thanksgiving. DO IT!
