I’m going to start this off by admitting that I don’t particularly like flying. I don’t mind big airplanes so much, but the little commuter flights are murder on my nerves. Yes, I know how safe it is and it’s certainly the most convenient way to get from one place to another, but all that being said I’d rather take the train.
However, I have four days to go, be in Chicago, and come home. This precludes the train as the trip there by rail is a two day odyssey that involves a half-day layover in Washington, DC. So I’m flying.
Otherwise, I like travelling for work. It’s a chance to do something different, stay in a hotel for a few nights, and see a new part of the country. I’ve only been to Chicago once and that was just a quick stop on the way to the airport. I think we went to a Bennihanas, but don’t quote me on that. I’m taking my laptop this time around. I’d like to have it for the work I’ll be doing and also to provide a distraction on the flight. So I feel like a REAL business traveler.
Anyway, I guess this is my opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Halloween and I’ll see y’all when I get back. (If for some morbid reason that doesn’t happen, be kind to Tom.)
