Furthermore, even if Picard was needed here, was the Enterprise? Surely they could go charting a nearby sector and leave Picard with a security detachment and a shuttle (or even that mythical Captain's Yacht, the Calypso).

Considering how little ambassadors there has been in TNG, this actually doesn't surprise me as much.

Flimsy excuses for a captain to not go on vacation is a Starfleet tradition.

I always thought that this word was one that didn't have a direct translation. Kind of like how petaQ is never translated, but the translations of "useless" or "garbage" has been used by Klingons multiple times.
