Thank you all for your encouragement on booking this trip I went ahead and booked the flight! I did add the $25 trip insurance option so I can change or cancel (well, no refund, but a credit to use within a year) at any point, just in case. I was agonizing over spending the $25 because it seemed like a waste if I did go on the trip as planned.. but $25 is worth some piece of mind. Now I'm hunting for a good hotel deal. I'm a couponer and am always hunting for good deals.. but this time I might forego the best deal so that I can get a Strip view hotel room I was in Vegas two years ago but things are always changing, and there are some things I saw the first time around (six years ago) that I didn't see the last time. They have this new ferris-wheel type thing, similar to the London Eye, that I'm super excited for. And there's a particular buffet I've been dreaming about over the last two years.
I was asked about what I was scared of. I'm not really afraid that H will change his mind and want to recommit to me and what that means for the trip. I'm more afraid that between now and then he'll decide for sure he wants a D and start moving forward... and that I'll be too emotional or out of sorts to be able to go on the trip (not to mention if there is something legal I'll need to take care of). But, the trip is a month and a half from now. Even if he files it takes a min. of 4 months here to be final. He's been stuck in the same place for almost 6 months now, I don't know that the next 6 weeks will cause him to shift one way or the other. And, I can't really worry about things that may or may not come to pass. What I know right now is that H is not going on any trips with me, and I need a vacation, so I'm going! I am moving in a couple of weeks (hence my thread title!), so who knows what that will change for him. It will certainly help me to move on with my life and start building it without him. In all liklihood he won't even know that I'm going on the trip, unless I post pictures on fbook and someone tells him about them. Since we have no kids and he's in charge of the cat and the house, there's no reason I need to let him know that I'm traveling.
Me:30 H:29, no kids T:12, M:4 (when D was final) 12/13: "Don't think I want to be M anymore" 6/14: Separated (I move) 1/15: H filed for D 5/15: D final
