[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  Oy.  Now I found out I need to be in San Diego on Wed.  Just San Diego.  I do not want this trip.  How am I going to tell my wife...LOL.(sometimes, you have to laugh).

(airfare is north of 1K).[/quote]

I am not sure why I am so invested in this story, but at this point, I would lay out the whole situation to my spouse :

We fly out Tues night, stay Wed in San Diego where spouse can enjoy warm weather, fun city.  Leave early Thurs morning to middle of nowhere - drop spouse at Hampton Inn on way to job.  If she can't check in early will have to wait in lobby, etc.  Drive back to San Diego on Friday afternoon/evening for morning flight out.

If that still appeals to her, and she understands you really aren't available for anything fun, and that it will cost $1,000 for the flights you need to take plus meals, then give it a go.  Perhaps you will enjoy the evenings together, and she will gain first hand insight into what your job is like - i.e. not glamorous travel.

Personally, I still wouldn't want to go, but that is just me.
