Because we have good friends in this city who fight and fight and never really get a break, now that Lilith and Glory are gone and before another big bad shows up, you're all getting a vacation. You are because you need it, even if you want to protest otherwise.
As for the where, you're get a grip, Petrelli, this won't send them screaming away from you going to the Underground, also known as the Labyrinth if you've seen the movie. The kingdom of the Goblin Queen, who is me, for anyone who hadn't been told or figured that out yet. And to cover the objections before they're brought up:
- You'll all only be gone a few hours Los Angeles time total. Your individual times away will actually be less. In the Underground, however, you can have a few days – think the equivalent of up to a three-day weekend. A real vacation.
- There will still be people in the city while others aren't, and I can bring you back immediately, so no 'but what if we're needed' excuses.
- The PTB and Senior Partners have no control or influence over where you're going. They're not going to punish anyone who blips off their radar for a short time and they cannot reach into the Underground and do anything to you while you're there. This isn't something I can offer everyone all the time, but I can offer this now because it is needed after all we've been through in the last few months.
- You can invite other people, I wouldn't want any of you to exclude your families and those like family to you. I'd prefer it be those closest to you that you trust, for my own personal reasons – namely, not wanting everyone in the city knowing who else I am besides just Sarah Petrelli.
- You don't all have to vacation together. Just let me know who wants to be in what groups and I'll sort out the logistics. If you want to be there at overlapping times with other groups so you can meet up for volleyball on the beach or dinner, let me know that too.
The only requirements are that you show up at the Hyperion on the 19th, if you're not already there, at your decided time, dressed and packed (everything you could ever need will be there, but you can bring your own things) for a stint in tropical weather and that you actually relax and have a good time because I will know. Forget your worries as best as you can and have fun.

It's a sun that doesn't kill, or even affect, vampires. Consider it a thank you for making it through those three days of insanity with me.
[Cathy & Lindsey]
You both need a break and a full night's sleep. Please take this.
[ooc: OKAY, SO HOW THIS WORKS. That initial filter up there is mostly people who were directly fighting recently. They are not the only ones ELIGIBLE, however.
This is not a party thing, so as Sarah said, not everyone will be there at the same time (as it's a vacation, we don't need interpersonal conflicts!) Instead, this is Sarah (and Peter, since they jointly had the idea) giving all their friends a vacation – in their small groups, of which they may add to with Sarah's permission (for example, Faith can invite Kyle and they can have a couple vacation or Niki can bring all the kids under her charge). The groups can be small (for example, Buffy, Spike and Dawn could chose to vacation alone) or they can be big (for example, Sarah & Peter will ask their family/"family" and they can vacation together and Dean and Sam can invite their family and vacation together). The groups CAN overlap (for example, the BtVS/AtS people can be there at the same time if they want to meet up while they are there, other connected people can do the same). AND SO FORTH.
Finally, as Sarah said, this isn't something that characters can go do all the time, otherwise the PTB and SP might start reacting. This is a special thing for special circumstances. ICly, Sarah would very much appreciate discretion, as she was anxious about revealing what she is. AAAND any questions about all of it, from the fake Caribbean setting to whatever you're curious about, just ask me.]
