[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not glamorous at all. Sorry to tell you [/quote]

I did that at one point. Outsiders think it is wonderful, but my trips were painful. I eventually quit because of too much work travel. Too many weekends away from home.

There was no down time. If in paris, for example, still no time to see anything. Hotels world wide look largely the same. Inside of a hotel in Kansas City is very similar to one outside the US.

Meetings all day. Most meals were with the local team and/or a customer. Get back to hotel room just in time to crash and do it all the next day. Had to squeeze in my usual work email whenever I could.

If I flew overseas, I really needed to sleep on the flight so I could start work immediately upon landing at the destination. Going to Europe meant skipping the meal on the plane because flights to Europe are only 5-7 hours from IAD and I really needed the sleep.

If I spent a weekend outside US, usually I spent one of the weekend days re-positioning to the next country.

Glad I don't travel any more. [/quote]
