Anytime you have the need to fill a seat at your table - I am only a short stroll away.

Was shoes off at one of the three lanes open Saturday week ago at LGW so it is not just a LHR thing. If that makes you feel better

Back to the hotel for emails, a conference call, room service dinner, more calls until 10pm and bed. When non-travelling colleagues go on about how lucky I am, explaining a day like that helps them understand there is a rough with the smooth.
Browsing FT is actually one of the things that helps break things up; otherwise you end up doing a series of 16 hour days on the bounce without let up
I used to do the mundane business traveller thing. But it was even more mundane that yours. The same route month after month after month; and all in whY
Now all of my travelling is for my enjoyment only which is quite a pleasant change.
I look forward to your next musings on the life of a business traveller.
