    THIS IS IN MY HUMBLE OPINION. If anyone has been watching them FOREVER, they would know and understand their dynamic. First of all, they have known one another for a VERY long time. Second, they have been together for a long time. Joe is always reserved and cool. If Joe wanted to take a solo vacation, he could as could Alena. They balanced one another out well. Love this family. They have made a very nice life for themselves ❤

    I feel like a trip to his parents home land with them first would be best for him or going solo before taking his family. But I think it should be his choice, without the pressure of surprise. Leaving in two weeks might be considered pressure. He may want to do some family investigation before the trip. He might need to be able to take the excursion in at his own emotional pace. Children and their needs always come first when vacationing with them and it it is challenging. In this situation it would be nice if he could put himself first.

    He definitely seemed less than enthused when he saw it was a trip for the whole family.
    And then all the issues presented immediately after…it feels stressful for me and I wasn’t in the car. Lol
