One Solution
Fly less if you don't have a good reason to.
Don't take three one week vacations to travel. Pile it together and spend three weeks where you're going.
If you date on the internet, pick someone local. If there's no one in town, move.
I'm single. My relatives never visit me. They even called me to tell me to cancel a recent trip because they decided they couldn't be bothered to stay in town to see me. Guess who's never flying to New York again? Life's not fair and neither am I.
If you do like your relatives and they like you, don't move halfway across the country. I am sure you can telecommute or find a similar job within driving distance.
If you can avoid travelling by air on business, do. Telecommute or do a video conference. Travelling for business is basically putting in 24 hour days on your trip. And they never reimburse you for sitters, be they pet or child.
