Would you leave your teenagers home alone for 5 days?

I don’t think I can do it. My husband and I were just invited to go whitewater rafting in Colorado with the boss and other co-workers for five days. We would need to leave our sons home alone while we are gone. They are 15 (just turned) and 16 (will be 17 in August).

Last summer we left them home for most of the night one evening and when I made of surprise visit to check on them, they had 3 friends in the front yard. They were told that no one was allowed over when we were gone. I can only imagine what might happen if we were gone for 5 days. Not to mention I would be worried the entire time that we were gone and would not enjoy the trip.

I know what my decision is but I was curious what other parents might do in this situation.
