I'm going to NYC this summer for a week. It's an all expenses paid award for a math/science teacher camp so I'm really excited and will be learning a lot during the half day workshops. There will be a lot of nationwide networking opportunities if I want and I do love to travel. I'm still hesitating on deciding if I bring my 18 month LO with my husband? Part of me wants to just have a break and focus on doing things there. This is my dream trip which is why I applied in the first place. But as of tonight, LO is still not weaned and I would miss her terribly, not to mention worry. Since we've been married I don't even want my husband to take trips without me though he will be going away for work in 2013.
My husband and I are freaked out to take our baby on long car rides, much less a Honolulu to NYC trip. Still, it might be a good experience for them. We would only pay for his flight only and could do a few extra days in the heart of the city using travel points. Anyone left their babe for a week? OR Anyone take their family on a long 'work' trip and have some encouragement? I'm sure either way there would be good/bad. I'd just like to hear your experiences.
