My sister is upset because they are going on our "family" vacation. I am tempted to cancel the entire vacation, except I will lose my deposit. Our friend's daughter is physically challanged and is so eager to see the ocean. Please Help. Reply to this Question

 First off, you should scold your husband for inviting them in the first place. He meant well, but as it was a family vacation, it should have been a family decision on if they could go or not. Gently tell your friend that you care for them, but it was decided to be a family vacation and that it was a mistake for your husband to invite them. But in the same breath, invite her to plan /another/ vacation with her at a later date, so your friend's child can see the ocean. They might be let down some, but I'm sure her daughter will be glad to see the ocean whenever they can.
