Would you do it? If it was not an official or business trip, would you leave your kids behind with your other half and go off on a vacation with your friends?

I love traveling but do not have much chance to travel far in my younger days due to financial reason. Now that things are financially more stable for me, I am beginning to get the itchy feet but feel guilty for even considering going off on a vacation without the family. Don’t get me wrong, I love going for holidays with my family. It is the icing on the cake. However, to bring the whole family along, the expenses is high and we are not able to travel far. On the other hand, if I were to travel with friends, the expenses will be for one pax only.

Anyway, at this point of time, I believe I cannot find it in my heart to leave my family for a vacation with friends *sigh*. Have you guys done it before and what’s your take on this?
