That is some funny shizzle! We are a unique crowd with unique schedules, which require flexibility on everyone's part. Thanks for the honest advice.

It seems like most of us recover from jet lag in a couple of days. That is the easy part. I really like OrionFE's advice about doing more of the cooking when I'm home (does this translate to more energy for additional activities after the kids go to bed?!?)

While I use Skype about once a day I could time my calls better and stay up on all the little details so we all feel I'm connected once I get home.

I knew there were some pilots who could stay married more than 5 years! Good luck to all.
