this is SO unfair

I am separated since 3 years, with a good and friendly relationship with my ex. He now lives with a new gf - my previous au-pair (that part is less pleasant, as there is a clear feeling of my life being stolen by a little bimbo with poor intention, but heck).
I try to be as accomodating as I can re: vacation and time with our DD (9 yrs old). We live on different continents - us in EU, him in the US, and this is all the more reason to make it easier when they get together, as it isn't all that often.
Last year I managed to arrange to go to the US for a month in summer - I worked from there, and they had time to themselves.
Now my ex just explained to DD that this year it will be all the same, they will be in the US and camping or whatever. He cannot plan his days from sunup to sundown - she is now all worked up on the wonderful vacation she is going to have. I have no way to organize anything in the US this summer, no money for the travel plans, no vacation time left (I take off all I can during year school vacation...).
I am going to stand back, and watch him organize, knowing that most likely he will remember last minute. Of course, he does not want to EU as his gf does not want to follow him in our second home (at least some limits... ;D ). But DD will be so disappointed, and I will have to have alternative plans for all, just in case he simply does not show up. HOW? my problem.

in a few years - sure. not yet.
thanks!!!
