Do you have any good friends who could keep an eye on the car for you, give it a quick spin every couple of days, something like that?

There are facilities all over this country that specialize in "cold vehicle" storage, and these places seem to be spread the thickest near military installations and ports.
You should be able to look on-line or in your local phone book for one of these places. They'll prep the car for long term storage (take the battery out, drain most of the fluids, etc.), deep cycle the battery once per month, then put it all back together again with 72 hours of notice when you're on your way back.
