Never mind just being away from family / home. Personally I couldn't think of any reward / status etc that could tempt me to be away from my kids for a single week-end let alone long enough to rack up tens of thousand of miles.
I fly because I have to and would stop if I could (apart from the occasional vacation). Obviously on this board I realise that I'm in a small majority. I must say I enjoy the stories though and as a source for information for the strictly business traveller, the knowledge that you guys have is amazing.</font>
This is in parts what I try to say as well... I rather spend time with love ones than having to travel all the time. It seems to me my 'mile crazy' attitude has started to fade away when I reached adulthood - as you get mature, you tend to be more rational about life and in some way, 'less crazy'. After all these travellings, there is nothing better than settle down and enjoy living but then for some people, this is their way of living. I am glad however, that I can say I am not one of them.
