friend taking relationship too fast

A very close male friend of mine recently started dating a new girl (very recently, about a week or so ago). He ended a relationship about 2months ago with a girl with some serious emotional and mental problems, that also took a toll on my friend. This new girl he is seeing has invited him to travel home with her for Easter weekend (just 2 weeks away). She lives about 8 hours away from us and he would be driving to and from there. He is wanting to go as a photography expedition (he's a local photographer at home), but I really feel this is showing a deeper commitment to this girl than he thinks. This new girl is similar to his ex in many of her mannerisms and also in her appearance. I want to show my friend that this trip is too soon to make with her, and that it is more than just a photoexpedition, as it includes church service and easter lunch with her family and friends. How can I show my friend what some many of his other friends see so clearly?

It's obvious that you care for his wellbeing. However, this is one of those cases where you shouldn't give advice unless he asks for it.

I know it's hard to watch someone we care for making a mistake, but sometimes you just have to let it happen.
