Sounds like some pretty good conversation with your spouse. I think the trip coming up might be good for you. Make sure you do plenty with your daughter....have a great time. I recently took my kids on a trip and made sure I had a great time with them and told my W all about it when she would call. I noticed the contact on the first two days was just about the kids but a couple days later she was sending me text messages about her going in to get her hair done or that she was hungry waiting in line at the buffet (liek I neede to hear that...though I enjoyed the contact). I always made sure that she initiated it. My only regret is that the trip was only for 5 days and not the 10 that you are on. I actually asked her at the end pf trip if she missed "us" and she said yes and then I asked her how she enjoyed her time alone...and she said she didn't like it.
The sadest part of the trip was to not have the spouse there to experience the kids experiences...someone that shares the same love for them.
Best wishes on this trip...remember....be cool, have fun, and be pursued not the pursuer!
