Once when I first started. It was fun - part was destination, the rest was local. We had one fight. lol!
The rest, the longest I had was a few 3-day trips. You just kind of have to go for it, because you really just never know what's going to happen if you want to start out with multiple days.
I've heard someone say schedule the 5-days and start out with the 2 days to make sure you don't want to choke each other (in the bad way, lol.)
Another thing is to have a place for her and you to retreat to, or if they want to leave for a few hours don't babysit them about it. Let it be free with no guilt if one or the other needs a great - and no taking it personally - and no showing the other you're taking it personally.
Keep it lose and don't follow each other into the bathroom if one has to poop.
(Sounds gross, but y'all are going to have to poop at some point - one reason you might want to get two rooms, or at least two separate bathrooms. Boundaries. That's a little deep and people actually do follow us into the bathroom when we shower, brush our teeth, go pee, all of that stuff. Or they sit right outside of the bathroom while we're getting ready. It still feels like they're observing you.)
Boundaries and don't be inseparable the first two days, and then start separating. Start practice coming and going / separating for a few just a bit the first day or two so when it happens on day 3 and 4, neither think, "uh oh, what's changed? Did I do something?" because by then it will be normal.
You just know - keep it free, low key, loose as a goose, and "alllll good."
Have fun!

Oh! And if she wants to sleep in or take a nap, let her - you might have kept her up all night and - well - I say just get separate rooms and she can come slip into bed w you sometimes at night if she wants to snuggle. When one chooses, it's always better than feeling obligated. Sleep is soooo important for these things. It is literally the most important contributor to a good or a bad trip in my opinion. So worth letting them have their needed sleep
