Nothing special. I was headed on a short work trip where a couple of coworkers and I had some minutia to sort out, but I’m back home again now. The trip home was supposed to be quicker, with 30 minutes between the two flights I need between work and home, but the final leg of my flight had to revert back due to weather, so insteaf there were six hours of beer in the airport lounge.
I mostly like it: I like seeing new places, and I like visiting distant cities (Kuala Lumpur and Singapore are favorites of mine).
I don’t like flying economy, but I endure it on the shorter flights. On the longer ones I usually pay for a seat upgrade, either out of my own pocket, or with the air miles I’ve accrued. On rare cases the company allows me to book business class on their card, but that’s rare and only for special circumstances.
I do like my coworkers, so whenever I’m going somewhere we usually coordinate the hotel stay together (flights are usually separate, as we live pretty much all over), so it’s usually the same gang meeting in a hotel lobby in some corner of the world.
Waiting at the first airport right now. There’s no beer here though, as it’s a tiny local airport with only a vending machine. But in about two hours I’ll be landing at a larger regional one. As I’m a very frequent flier this means lounge access and free beer during my three hour wait.
Beer in an airport lounge, and no.
Tomorrow it will be beer in a hotel lobby, which is what I’m looking forward to.
Where are you headed?

Damn that stinks when your flight is delayed so long.
I’ve never had a job where I’ve traveled for work. Do you like or dislike that aspect of it? It always seemed like it would be kind of fun lol!

Get yourself a Breakfast Pint; you’ve earned it!
