Travel is NOT fun
Feb. 6th, 2003 12:24 pmI used to be really really jealous of people who had jobs which let them travel a lot. Wow, I'd think, that's really cool. D'oh!
This month I've a day trip to Munich, a couple of days at a tradeshow in France and, if I'm really lucky, a round the world trip, Taiwan, Seattle, home. Naturally, these will probably all be economy flights flying whatever weird route the travel person can find to save a buck or two.
Invariably, whoever ends up with the travel booking job is the one who has only ever experienced a 2 week flight to the Balleric Islands and thinks its all fun. Either this involves a lay over in a tin shack in the middle of nowhere, or, worse, hours spent at a place like Chicago where not only do you have to go through US immigration behind 3 747's full of dodgy people from nasty places like England or France, but then you have to do your onward journey on an internal domestic US airline on a crumbling MD-11.
*sigh* I think I'll have a lie down now.
