Thanks for replying. I thought my hubby and I had agreed we'd be alone this year, but then he agreed to this road trip. They wanted to all travel in the same car and stay in the same hotel rooms (across 4 states with a teenager and small spoiled child that aren't my own?! NO WAY!) but at least I argued for separate cars/rooms.

I do go for Easter. And for Thanksgiving. We live very close to his family whereas most of mine is across the country. It's not that there is a lot of stress involved, I just wish such a large chunk of my holiday (2-3 weeks) wasn't going to be controlled by other people. And I do feel guilty for feeling this way because I like road trips, want to go to this resort and don't have any real reasons for not wanting to go that doesn't sound like "I hate your family."
