"You can't have everything. Where would you put it?" - Steven Wright
Go to http://certainintelligence.blogspot.com for my blog.
why don't you run the 18 miler the week before? Schedules are good, but not set in stone. As long as you get it in, and you're not doing too many high mileage runs in consecutive weekends, you should be fine. Most plans have you build for a couple of weeks and then have a step down week. I would just see how feel the week before and switch it out. And then be happy to just maintain and have a lower mileage week while you're on vacation. That's just my opinion, of course.

Oooh, I've got to remember that one! What fun! Be careful if the seas pick up, I had a heck of a time staying on the treadmill on one cruise! Arla
