Post The Glamor of Business Travel
Day one. . .

Flight from Pasco to Denver: Flawless
Flight from Denver to DC: delayed 6 hours because of a mechanical. Caused me to have to rebook my connection. When I finally arrived in DC, I had to SPRINT through the airport to make my flight. Luckily, I had a collegue already there and he held up the connection for me. . .so. . .it took me 15 hours total to get from Pasco to Charleston, WV.

THEN. . .today. . .I got up at 4:00AM (that's 1AM in my head) to get to the airport, turn my car in and THEN find out that my F#$%ing flight is cancelled to Chicago and I'm rebooked on a flight that leaves at 5PM. Did I mention that I already turned in my car? So. . .10 hours in a small airport. . .then to Chicaco and another run to the connection to get to Milwaulkie.

Overall, I will have spent more time in airports than I will have spent in my hotel rooms in 4 days. Somebody better buy something from me or heads are gonna roll. . .
