I just started a new job this week. I work with a team of people. I need to go on a special trip to visit my uncle. My father died about 6 months ago. I am very close to my uncle. I need to spend time with him. The trip would be for two weeks.... How long should I wait before taking this trip? I rather not wait until Christmas... But I think it would be weird to start a new job and then immediately take time off. Thanks.

I haven't seen my uncle in about 5 years. And he has been urging me to spend time with him. The job is high-paying (>$100K).
