Taking a Solo Vacation?

Here, honey. This week, you need to take the kids [2] to soccer and Girl Scouts and gymnastics camp. There's not much in the fridge, so you'll need to hit the grocery store. Come to think of it, there's not much in the way of clean clothes, either, so you'll need to do laundry. Oh, and don't forget to mow the lawn. Now, have a blast! See you when I get back from vacation! [3]

Does jetting off to some exotic locale while your hubs and the kids [4] stay home sound like a dream come true? Well, go ahead and wake up: Reuters reports [5] that these days, momsand [4] dads are making solo trips a reality.

What do you think of this trend? Brilliant? Selfish?  Would you ever consider taking a solo vacation?
