[quote=Anonymous]Another perspective here.  Dh's prior job (laid off in July) initially required 2 days of travel, about every other week.  Since he usually was just going to NY or Boston, he would pack all the client visits into 2 days, and just stay one night.  He did it this way as he did not love to be away.  A few months ago, he had to choose from 2 job offers, one would require 50% or more travel but had great pay potential.  The other was a local sales territory of DC and Alexandria, so no travel required.  He took the latter as he really did not like being away, and was very involved in baseball coaching.   But, I think different personalities can handle travel differently.  Dh grew up with a dad who traveled all the time.  When dad was home, he did pack in a lot of activity (all involving sailing, his interest).  Dh actually did not like the fact that every weekend, he had to go on the boat, or clean the boat, etc.  He would have rather be able to play a sport, or spend time with his friends, especially as he got older.  We know that dh's next promotion will undoubtedly involve travel (he is in sales mgmt.) but I can see us as a family who keeps thing more low key when he is home.  I think getting a break for the parent at home will be a part of it too. :)[/quote]
