Been there, done that, never again
. Had to spend a week by myself in the middle-of-nowhere in rural Kentucky in early December two years ago at a dirty coal fired power station. Only hotel nearby was a Super 8 Motel at a freeway exit, only restaurant for miles was a Dennys Diner (in shiny chrome 50's retro style) attached to the Motel and the whole county was a dry one
. Nearest beer was 25 miles away.
It either rained or was foggy every day as well. Very gloomy - but from a business perspective worthwhile in the end as it was my clients first large and highly significant order in penetrating the USA.
And my wife thinks travel is somehow glamourous
Seriously, if you get involved in International sales and marketing, thats a role you will be travelling alot.
