Travel isn't always glamourous.
I spent the first four years with my company travelling to such exotic locales as Hattiesburg, MS, Detroit, MI and Linden, NJ. All I did was gain 25 lbs eating fast food while I sat in my hotel room working at night. Oh yeah - I didn't get to keep the Frequent Flyer miles back then - they went back to the company so our execs could fly first class.
My first International trip was to Tokyo Japan - All I saw of Tokyo was from all 4 conference rooms windows on the 33rd floor of a building in Shinjuku.
Most of the time I was on the road alone but sometimes I got to travel with others. The best part of travelling was when I was with other people who were fun - there were more than a few trips to New Orleans from MS that lasted all night.
