I completely understand!

My husband and I have planned to take a ski trip later this month and honestly, I am sick over leaving my Chloe with my aunt. Not really SICK, per se, but I just have some anxiety. I am ready for a nice little break, but she just adds so much value to my life everyday, it will be weird/sad without her for a few days.
As for kids, you will most likely miss them terribly!

Although, mine is 14 now and I'm pretty sure he will pack for my husband and I so we can go skiing. He won't have a problem shipping us off, but I still miss him a ton when we're away anywhere without him.
Life! I'm happy that you know what makes you happy and just go with that. Some people can never find that out! Have a great trip!!!! You know Monty will be waiting with bated breath for your return!
