Rukh, I did warn her of the potential last week. Didn't mention it here because work is also slamming busy right now.

Sis is mad but we will work through it.

I would not worry about it, she'll get over it.

  She will get over it but she might also balk the next time a family vacation is suggested.

Well, of course she will get over it -  But was it the right thing to do?  "I" don't think so

And "I" think it was... Oh well!

And the downside to that is

[Shooby]

  As i said, i don't get the hostility towards the sister.  That the sister is somehow being unreasonable to want her sis and nephew on vacation with them.  If the rest of you can't stand your families, fine.  But that doesn't mean the OP does.

So we hate our siblings because we'd let our kids miss vacation? Got it! 

[Shooby]

No.  But, it seems like some are acting like the sister is asking something unreasonable to want to vacation together. 
  I actually LIKE vacationing with my sister.

My sisters are some of my best friends. Which is why I can see them understanding about my kid bailing for the AS Game if my kid was as invested in baseball as t-dog's son is.

I don't think so either.

Well, the conversation was had, she is disappointed and I feel Solomonesqe.  Boy doesn't know yet as teams are not announced until Sat night.

We have a joint family camping trip with even more of the extended family happening 12 days after we would have gotten back from HI (so mid July).  In addition my son and her son are attending CAL baseball camp together for 4 days a mere 9 days after the HI return date (early July).

OMG - on cloud 9 -
Just heard from coach that boy can still play in the all star game even though he would have to miss 6 days of practice to go to HI.  He just won't get as much playing time as other kids (which I concede is totally fair!).
