January signing Sala was traveling to Cardiff
from French club Nantes when the plane he was on crashed in the
English Channel last month.
His body was recovered from the wreckage last week while pilot
David Ibbotson is yet to be found.
The Welsh club are not in action this weekend after getting
knocked out of the FA Cup last month and their next match is in
the league at home against Watford on Feb. 22, which gave the
club time for a warm-weather training camp.
"The club gave me permission to fly out to Tenerife, to take
them all for four days but after what's happened over the past
two weeks, I'd rather cuddle my kids and see my missus because
it's been a long two weeks," Warnock told reporters.
"I've never known anything like this in my life and I've seen
most things. They'll all be reflecting on what's happened and
your family is more important than football isn't it?"
Cardiff's 2-1 win at Southampton over the weekend was dedicated
to Sala by Warnock and midfielder Aron Gunnarsson said the
Argentine striker's death had 'brought everyone together' at the
club.
"The most important thing was for the family to mourn. Knowing
that now, hopefully the pilot will be found and his family can
mourn," Gunnarsson said.
