Business Travelers

How do you spend your time working away from work when you are not working. OK, that was confusing. Usually, when I am traveling for business, it is for anywhere from a couple of days to 5 days.

I hate watching TV in the room. I usually drive out for dinner but eating alone is no fun either.

How would you spend 3 to 4 hours in the evening in a stange city?. Roaming around is fun for a day or two only. Any tips from seasoned travelers?

To my co-mods: It may sound travel section but it really isn’t.

Re: Business Travelers

1)Usually plan activities with any colleagues who are travelling
2) Look up old friends in the area and meet up
3) Look up university/fraternity alumni in the area and meet up with them, good for networking, and better than eating alone.
4)Dro by the local lodge
5)catch up on my reading
6) catch up on movies

Desi travel:

  1. Trace out your relative's or friends to find a cheap place to crash
  2. Use their telephone,
  3. Dont forget to take your gifts for the younger one's..
  4. Look for Inidan/desi restaurants
  5. Where are the store sales,
  6. Kids need new shoes, school bags or wife needs her mascarra
  7. Does the conference have free lunch/dinners,

Re: Business Travelers

Fungo, do you do house-calls too? What’s your rate? And most importantly, are you discrete? And also one more thing, do you use protection while on business?

When you go through personals ads TVTG means you dont want that. You dont want surprises.

Re: Business Travelers

yaar which company do you work for which wont even pay for a hotel when you travel?

i always saw the ads for the inflaable mattress where they say “take it on business trips” and wondered what kind of business would that be. I guess I know now.

Re: Business Travelers

^ what kind o fgibberish are you two talking about. Don;t listen to Fraudz, Aejaz (no one else does either BTW :p ) You can borrow my assistant anytime. She likes mojitos and an occasional hug when she gets tipsy, just want to warn you though...she is fierce when it comes to keeping calendars open.

Re: Business Travelers

Some small business owners travel on their own. I wouldn’t be surprised if they saved a few pennies here and there. For corporate America, it’s a different scenario.
