Over the next 6 months hubby will be traveling for a total of 16 weeks. 12 out of state and 4 to Japan. all because he got picked ( one of only 5 guys) to some national repair team thingy.

That sucks. I know a lot of couples where the husband travels extensively for work, but I know I couldn't handle it. Maybe you and the kids can go with him on some of the trips. I know it's hard, but not impossible. LJ traveled a lot when he was a baby/toddler all over the world with his parents (he lived in Singapore, Australia, and a lot of other cool places .. including Nebraska :spin)

yeah.
I've been day dreaming about going ot Japan with him for at least part of that trip - sicne it;s 4 weeks straight with no break. he gets per diem $$ too that he doesn;t have to pay back.. so I wonder if we could work out where that could pay for part of my ticket. (actually i'd have to get 2 tix since I only have 1 lap and 2 babies).
or i could pay for them myself.
toyota doesn't have any problem with wives/girlfriend/family going along to Indiana, but they won't cover cost.........

i'm hoping to work something out cause this is ALOT of time away from home.
