vacation 12 days post-op?

I'm scheduled for a BR (yay!) on July 27th. My husband surprised me with a 5 day trip soon after - departing August 8th. We are going to Vieques, Puerto Rico where the main things to do are relax, lay on the beach, and snorkel. I know I can't get in the water for 6-8 weeks so snorkeling and swimming are out. I'm debating about rescheduling the trip for after I can do those things, BUT that means I'd be back at work by then (I'm a teacher). Taking a few days off is no problem for me because I have several saved up, but I'm torn between my options:   1. BR on July 27th, vacation on August 8th and not snorkel or swim. 2. Go on vacation as planned on August 8th, but postpone my BR until after I get back which means I'd have to take time off of work. I teach junior high so I would easily be able to mostly sit and talk for a few days after I return to work. If this is the best option, how few days do you think I can get away with taking off? 3. Have the BR as planned on July 27th; postpone the vacation. This is probably the best option, but I'm not sure we can change the tickets. If we can't, this option is out.    Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom you can offer me!
