Here's the sad story:
I got approved for 5 weeks vacation. I almost bought the air-ticket from Air Canada (pretty good flight with 787).
And then my wife happened (for whom I set this trip for). She got a new job and she isn't allowed for more than 2 weeks vacation for the first 6 months.
So, trip cancelled/postponed for now. Instead, we will perhaps go for a SoCal trip for a week.
