busting, I know when my h has talked about a plan for the kids, it is hard not to get those expectations up a bit. I see me and the kids as a package deal. my h wants a relationship with them just not with me right now. If you are comfortable going to Dubai, and doing it on your own...just like your safari trip... then go explore, do, if the kids get more time with h then great, that's a bonus.
I agree with Heather though, he is still a gamble and ending the vacation on a high note will be a great memory for you and your children. maybe even for your h!
