You definitely need to be cool these two weeks. Perhaps even going out for a couple nights with some girlfriends (get him to watch your daughter for the evening) and perhaps stay out late. This might really get him wondersing when you are gone for 10 days in another country. I would also start planning some things to do with your daughter before the trip and let him know about them, so he starts to get an idea of what he will be missing out on. This seemed to plant the seed a little bit with my wife....though I admit I would have loved it if she decided to come along with us.
