Evolution (?) of a Road Warrior

1st business trip

Wow that was a long flight.

This is a really nice hotel. I can’t believe how big this room is. I’ll have to show it to the kids on Skype. Better set an alarm to talk to them when they wake up for school. I want to get them a really cool and authentic gift as a souvenir. One for my wife too. Maybe I’ll ask the concierge where I should shop.

I think I’m getting the hang of this. The jet lag is still a killer.

This room looks pretty much the same as the ones in the other cities. It must be a chain thing. Have to remember to Skype with the kids and ask how their game went.

6th business trip

Finally have lounge access. That makes the airport tolerable.

Another hotel room. More tiny bars of soap that won’t get used. Have to remember to Skype with the family sometime this week.Didn’t have time to get out and see the city. I’ll have to get souvenirs from the hotel gift shop.

11th business trip

This lounge is never stocked when I’m here. Too many people in here.

Why do they go through this pre-flight safety message every time? Is there someone on board who doesn’t know how to put on a seat belt?

The air conditioning is freezing in this hotel room. I don’t even feel like unpacking. I forgot to get a souvenir for the kids. Guess I can always get one at the airport gift shop.

25th business trip

Seems like I’ve spent more time with the lounge staff than with my kids this week.

Same in-flight magazine. Same in-flight movies. I think it’s even the same meal.

Really tired of this hotel. I’d love to switch next trip but I’m only 2 nights away from Mega-Ultra-Platinum Status. Whatever that means.

37th business trip

I wish I was home.
