HI KAW,
Yes, we are using his biz trip as a vacation for us. That's the scary part I guess is we'll be together 24/7 (literally). We've done the week at my house this summer, but we maintained our normal work schedules etc and that went really well. He also spends alternate weekends at the house (I'm only off on alternate weekends) so THIS trip will be the first time in several years where it's just been he and I together with no separate corners/quarters to escape too.
I think this IS his big test (in his mind) although he hasn't said that. But he is obviously looking forward to it as he brings it up everytime we talk.
I'm very nervous about it. But I think it will be a good test for both of us.
