Kept my job, but far more travel, how do you handle?

Well, I kept my job for another week, the layoffs got a friend of mine, and now I've inherited most of his territory, AND, they have moved the job to NY.

What this means for me is that they want me to spend at least a half of the month in NY, and I'll probably have at least one side trip beyond that.

Travel has always been a part of my job, but never to this extent.

So to those of you who have families (I have 2 boys, 10 and 14) how do you handle this?

I thought about doing every other week in NY, but have recently thought of instead doing Tues through Thurs 3 weeks of the month. That way I can catch all the weekend stuff, and Friday night football games, scouts etc.

BTW, I live in Seattle, so it's not like it's just a quick jaunt into NY.

The only good part is that a friend who has a condo that is rarely used in NY is letting me borrow it when I'm in town. So at least I don't have to do hotels.

Thanks.
Eric
