My two pence,
If you are asking can the entire family go.. the answer is YES.. go like Wilky said.. your child will be the better off for it..The real education and experience he will receive will only have one negative side effect.. Travelling is addictive  ... As for schooling (I lecture in a university) a home school (HS) kid that has travelled and seen the world could not be worse then some of the students i have now...
(this could even be true if the child was educated by a couple of dyslexic/mute/deaf/illiterate/innumerate parents- not saying that your two are- just schools are not all that great these days.. ). In fact I have a couple of HSers and they are getting the top marks in the class. Now if you added in real world travel and these kids would be amazing.. (if anything they are a bit sheltered and shy.. but this is just this brother and sister pair, not necessarily HS's doing)
If however i am reading things right your husband wants to go off alone.. then bugger him.. it took two to make the child he HAS TO HELP. If the relationship is not working fine get a divorce but he still has to be around and give money.. you should not have to raise the child alone and support his travels.. that is just not right...
Kids are not a choice you can unmake.. so he is suck with his choice for an other 10-12 years... Sorry mate that is the way of it.. Going off travelling will make him a deadbeat dad.. his child will grow up not knowing him..
