Shalom u'Vrachah!
?! I have already answered this clearly.
No, on the contrary—it is correct that you should travel, for several reasons, to one of those two places (and not to the seminary). Your daughter will certainly agree to this (and you have my permission to tell her that this is my clear advice). The difficulty seems to be only with your wife. Perhaps in the end she too will agree when she reflects that this is surely what truly fits the real desire of her late father. And it is easy.
Summary
The Rebbe writes that sometimes a clear decision is needed even if not everyone initially agrees; with reflection and understanding of true intentions, family members may come to accept what is best.
