I have been lucky with consulting in that I have never had to do more than a couple weeks in the coal-plant zone. Mostly I have had some good destinations - Denver, San Francisco, San Antonio, Paris, Montreal. I can't really complain.
I would, however, give it all up if someone would like to hire me to be a travel writer...
