[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  What DW does not get is that I am not reachable during the day.  Period.  And I need the car -- I can not get to my work site without a car, and she is not allowed on the complex.

So for her to accompany me, we would have 1K in airfare (that is what my ticket cost) and 4 days of a second car rental.  So, about $1300.  Plus, she is not working for those three days.  (plus what about the teen)?.

I would blow 1/2 of our family vacation budget and she is the only one getting a vacation.

My wife thinks work travel is glamorous.  I half want to take her so she can see what it is about.[/quote]

You are over estimating costs ...DC to CA  is not $1k RT...can find tickets in the $300 range.  She can drop you at the complex and pick you up.  The teen can stay with a friend. You seem very rigid. Why not want to make your wife happy? Let her have a vacation? [/quote]

If the OP is a consultant to, say, the military, and is visiting a large base or secured complex, he needs to be able to drive onto the base and drive around inside the gates to get to his destination. He can't just be dropped off outside the gates.[/quote]
