Business travel sucks. I spent a week in Boston. Or so I'm told. Instead of seeing historic sites or meeting interesting people, I saw my hotel room, the convention room floor, and the street between them. I got to go to one restaurant that wasn't a chain restaurant, and I could see the John Hancock Building from my hotel room, but if it hadn't been a business trip, it would have been much more interesting.
My wife, a former consultant for PeopleSoft, has spend months in South Dakota, in Texas, in Pasadena. She even went to Singapore for a series of business meetings. She reports that, really, hotel rooms look the same no matter where you are. And, honestly, after ten or twelve hours working, you are really too exhausted at night to do any sort of sightseeing. I spent six months in Portland, Oregon, working on a development project. I hear it's a nice town. At 11:25 AM 11/9/2001, Christopher Solomon wrote: >But you must get to meet so many great people!
