My faith in my company is restored.
I had a meeting with my new boss (VP HR) and the HR Director from Ireland yesterday. When last we met, we tried to come to an agreement on what would work for me, my family and the company, a win-win-win scenario. We had a few disagreements during that conversation . . . part of the reason that the situation was a throbbing mass of stress.
During our meeting yesterday, they presented me with the new offer, which was exactly the way that I had hoped it would turn out. I gave a little and the company gave a little. All in all, I'm satisfied with the situation.
As it turns out now, I'll be signing a three month lease for an apartment when I get back over to Dublin, with an option for a monthly renewal. After three months, we'll have a better picture the plan to roll-out the software. I expect I'll be there for 4-5 months, then returning to the US to do a 3-6 month project before heading back to Dublin to test & roll out the software.
In addition, we've gotten two new team members added to our team, so we're no longer understaffed. There will be some long days, but my company has stepped up and made a commitment to me and to making the project a successful one.

Hrmph. Google just lost the comment I was about to post, so here is what I think I said:
Glad to hear the company is coming around, and you've found a situation that is workable. Now we just have to get our passports and see if we can catch you while you are there.
I think the blog is a great idea ... but keeping it up after the vinegar is gone is definitely the hard part. Eh, no worries, you can deal with that when you get to it.
Great pictures by the way.
@Cheryl - Thanks for the support. Would love to have everybody come visit, though my housing arrangements will be much smaller under the new deal. You have to give some to get some. And I've been trying to work out that issue with Google & posting comments. Thanks for reading!
