I understand. I have had a few of these experiences in life where I still end up working and missing out on the "vacation" part. I need to move away from these partially-toxic vacations...
I once took a "dream trip" to Iceland with extended family, but made the mistake of not properly signing off from work. We saw all the natural wonders of the island and everyone had a great time... Except me. My primary memory of the trip is sitting in a hostel kitchen with my laptop while everyone else is out playing in a park. That's when I understood that I'm going to miss out on my children's lives completely if I keep going like this.
