Road warrior

I’m writing from a hotel room. This year has been unprecedented for travel. Some of it is work related; some is not. It began with our road trip to Tennessee. I’ve also been in Nashville for work. Twice. Yesterday’s was merely a stopover for an afternoon meeting. I didn’t even spend the night before heading straight to my next destination. I’ve been to Michigan and Atlanta (more work). And of course there was our fabulous cruise vacation, which I have yet to write about. But wait, there’s more! Between now and the end of the year I am looking at another Tennessee road trip. More Michigan. Las Vegas. San Francisco. New Jersey. New York. Some of these are tentative and some are confirmed, but folks, that’s about five years’ worth of travel packed into one, and it’s possible there could be more.
I like the opportunities to get out there, but I miss my family when I’m gone. And it’s part of what’s been keeping me so busy and away from my blog.
On the plus side, the work travel subsidizes some of the fun trips. Frequent flyer miles are a wonderful thing. One of the outings is to visit a friend later this summer. I’m really looking forward to that one!
Wow, lucky you. I think I’ve gone far if I get past my mailbox.
It’s too bad you couldn’t take your family along this time and I’m sure they miss you too.
Get out there and have some fun if you can!
I have to admit, I’m a bit jealous. I don’t get to travel hardly at all. Enjoy it! Even though I understand missing the family thing.
Travel safe!
Stay safe. Why is work running you around so much? I don’t know why but I had the impression that you were a teacher. But I must be wrong as I don’t recall any of my teachers being required to travel.
The Lumpy
Travel once in a while is nice – room service, maids to make the bed, fresh towels every day, no dishes to wash. But it would get old in a hurry for exactly the reasons you mentioned.
I posted something over at my place for women only.
Wave as you flash by…but you’re welcome to stop and sit a little if you want.
