Anything of any duration longer than a long weekend we go together. No trust issues, and we know and like everyone the other goes with...
That said I have friends who do go on separate vacations. One goes to the north woods of Canada for a week fishing with his buddies. From what I understand, his wife has no interest, goes somewhere else during the year with her friends, and they still vacation together...
2. 2 kids. They stay at home with the non-vacationing spouse unless we're visiting family. We take our oldest to places appropriate for his age occasionally. Our youngest is too young to know what's going on... The pilgimage to see The Mouse is still a couple of years off.
3. Spouse stays home, and has her hands full, let me tell you...

I realized my earlier answer was, well, wrong. We've taken separate vacations, but only in the sense that visiting one's family can be called a vacation. The "vacating" person takes at least one kid.
