Thanks for the response breakingnews

Actually we have already done several camping trips together. My wife can deal with it even if she doesn't really enjoy it. My kids love it. My wife enjoys going for day hikes also and we have arranged a 3 day trip to explore some new trails in October. I have arranged my work schedule to maximize my time with them as well. My seven year old loves to go MTB'ing with me and he is really good. I pick the four year old up from school every Friday (he goes three days a week for 3.5 hours per day) and we go out for lunch and then wherever he would like afterwards. Every Saturday I take them out someplace (the wife too but not always). We do plenty of hiking, biking or some other activity. The kids love the canoe also. They are really great. That is probably part of the reason I feel so guilty for wanting to take off by myself.

It's hard to explain but I feel almost like I am at the end of my rope so to speak. The past year has been very stressful and I just have not been able to get rid of it. I feel if I could just do this trip it would remove the stress but then I feel stressed just planing the trip. What if I don't come back? what if something happens? I guess I have become too aware of my own mortaility.
