Holiday/relapse dilemma

Hi everyone I've had RRMS for close to 10 years now and have quite a few daily symptoms from all the relapses. But generally, I'm doing well enough and live alone with my three gorgeous cats. Since last week I have a possible new relapse which makes me extremely tired and it's difficult to walk. At least the tingling and numbness disappeared with Solumedrol. I have one more infusion tomorrow and will then need to recover from this. My dilemma is that I have a holiday booked to South Africa - supposed to leave in 10 days for three weeks. I'm not sure if I should go now because I would have to adjust most of the plans to be able to relax enough and not stress myself more. I've been looking forward to this holiday for over a year and a half but I'm very unsure if I should go. We're going with friends & family (12 people including myself) and especially my parents and sister don't seem to understand why I'd prefer to stay home, considering I could "just stay in the hotel and relax". But I think it'd be easier to cancel the whole trip instead of going and not do the things (safaris & sanctuaries) why I wanted to go in the first place. I told them I'd decide next week.. Do you have any advice for how to decide and especially how to make my family understand should I cancel?

In the UK we have airport assistance. If you call in advance they will arrange transfer thru the airport as it can be up to 1 kilometre from check in to gate.

That's always great, I use it whenever I'm travelling through a big airport. But as my sister works at the airport, everything about the travel to and from South Africa is organized. I worry more about the time between the flights.
