Re: Flying solo
Vieq - Read the books covering philosophy and history. Skip the techniques books unless recommended by your instructor.
I did most of the trips when I was single, but when I met my wife to be, she started training - so the travel was OK, but I understand those contstraints. Try to see if she wants to visit her Mom a little more often!
Go to class with a set of questions - the things you are struggling with or need clarification on. You teacher should appreciate the fact that you are rtrying to 'get it'.
Keep the pool of techniques you are working on small - work on the quality of thiose techniques.
The shadow training worked for me, I think it can be useful. Try the shadow ukemi as well.
