For the better part of a decade, I have done travel consulting. It’s great in that I get to see different places, meet new people, and – generally – get a lot done for them while I am there. But I don’t get to see anything “interesting” – everything closes before I get done at work (museums, etc). And, too often, there’s nothing especially good to eat near the hotel. So a travel week goes thusly: (arrival day) fly-in, get car, check into hotel; (working days) go to customer site, leave customer site, go to hotel and change, get dinner, go back to hotel; (departure day) check out, return car, fly out. Which is a shame – because I’d like to actually see what’s near where I am.
