I agree with cataloging and photographing your collection for your own memories, and suspect that you may have already. I personally haven't done this with my stuff yet, but I understand how you feel about 'Is it time?'
I also agree that a vacation is a good idea, but maybe before you decide what to do with your figures etc. Take a break to clear your head, if only as to decide what to keep or sell or continue on with. I've said it a lot to my gf who is very supportive, and luckily has enjoyed it to an extent as well. I used to want an MOC and a displayed set, but I realized MOC doesn't matter in my long term plans.
Like any major decision in your life, those closest to you will give you the best advice, and if they know that this hobby is your passion (aside from them, of course), then they will support any choice you make regarding your collection(s).
I always ask myself when I leave my LCS with $500 receipts, 'Am I crazy?' And before I drive off, I peek into the boxes, and answer, 'These figure F@ckin' Rock!', and off I go as happy as can be. When I can't be that happy about my figures any longer, I'll know it will be time to start something else, or maybe take that vacation.
Good luck with everything, your post rings true with all of us eventually.
