Enjoy your time alone!
I am going away for a long weekend soon to visit an ill relative. Then a few weeks later, I have my quilt getaway about 1 1/2 hours away. DH and DS love to 'batch' it together. Not sure if anything different really happens, but they love to talk about it. I do know that each time the dishwasher will be on when I walk through the door. (and every kitchen cabinet door will be open, but that's another story). :)
