Is this breed appropriate for me?

Question:

I am interested in adopting a JRT. I have been around one or two of them on a limited basis, and I enjoyed them thoroughly. I have done some homework on the breed, and understand that they are high energy, and very intelligent. My spouse and I are both with the airlines, so when we go to work, it is for a day or two--overnights are involved. The good news is that when I am home, I am REALLY home--for three or four days at a time usually. I have worked with a Pet sitter before, and actually have one lined up for the future--she will spend an hour a day with the dog--play, walks, etc.--when we are gone. I worked your "IS the JRT breed right for me?", and scored highly--except for the time alone. Will these periods where we are out of town be too stressful for this breed? Please help--I really like these little guys.
