Congrats on the vaycay, sorry for your loss and rough times, I know we all can empathize.
My yearly vacation with the wife and kids has taken a horrendous turn. We usually visit my wife's immediate family who live year round in a fairly peaceful and secluded spot in southern maine facing a tidal river\flat. Nothing flashy but it's quiet, the kids can go swimming in an above ground pool, go hiking, etc. Usually just chill with the grandparents and maybe my wife's siblings and their kids. Eat some*lobster, maybe drive into town and catch a band at a bar, go on a few boat rides, maybe striper fish. It's almost always super relaxed. Not this year. They decided to have a family reunion. Imagine 50-100 screaming New York Italians and their kidsand grandkids all talking at the same time, trying to go out to eat as a group, eat meals at my in-laws place, etc. I've already told my wife that I'll be leaving as soon as it gets too much and I'm going to spend at least part of my vacation trout fishing as far as I can get away from people period. Take that time for yourself. You'll be glad you did.
