Well your parents obviously tried to make it a "one last family vacation" before they parted, and they probably did it for you. So, just try and enjoy it. Only thing you can do.

My parents separated when I was 3 years old so I've grown up with them not being together. But think of it this way; you get two lots of everything.

My parents said they were getting divorced at some point on basically every family road trip. They did eventually get divorced but not until 10-15 years later. At that point I had stopped believing them because it was like the tenth time they told me they were getting divorced.
