[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I assume that this is what most folks do with business trips. Even if the trip in necessary I always assume folks with kids are tacking on extra days.

REALLY? I seriously would not have thought this.[/quote]

NP here - maybe it depends on where you work? I'm on my 2nd job involving travel and in both cases I haven't really run across anyone who does this on any of my teams. When a meeting is over, we all leave THAT day. In fact most people tend to get a bit "down" if we finish late enough that we miss the last flight out or if we're in a small city where the next flight isn't for a day so we're stuck. I haven't seen people saying -- oh we're done here in Nashville at 4 pm on Friday, well I'm staying the night and will fly home late day Sat. The only thing I have seen people do is fly in the evening/afternoon before a meeting. If a meeting isn't until say 11 am -- so you could fly the morning of -- I know some people still want to fly the afternoon/evening before. That can sometimes be viewed as getting a free afternoon/evening and some "me time" away from home but sometimes it is just the case of a person who'd rather be where they need to be and be settled and not worry about flight delays the morning of the event. Have never thought anything of it even if they're doing it for "me time" bc it really is 1 afternoon or evening max. Way different than going away for 3-4 days on a made up trip like OP is doing.[/quote]
