Business travel

[sirbob]

I have seen a few threads lately about new topics to start and it got me thinking about all the travel I do with work.

So I'm starting a thread to post pictures of the places we all go while working...

I'm on my way NYC today.

 

[Singleton]

I never have time to take photos while traveling for work. I am usually only in one place for 24 hour with my current job. Next week I land in Fargo, ND at 9pm Monday and fly out Tuesday at 4pm.

Headed to Fort Lauderdale for the boat show on Friday.

First half of the week last week in Greenville South Carolina. Beautiful weather.

Chicago middle of the week, not so good weather but cool storm. This is taken from the Hilton overlooking Lake Michigan.

A shot across the wing overlooking Las Vegas Strip and the McCarran Airport as we came in to make my connection traveling from OC.

Got into Atlanta late last night. Get this view for the day. Fly back tonight.

How hard can it be to snap a shot while you walk !

Arriving in JFK now...

I'll be in Atl in 2 weeks

Radio City !

I get to go back once a month. It's not too bad. Better than the alternative which is moving back there. (Did my 2 year stint a decade ago).

One for boat bling... this is with the seat leaned all the way back. It's not the best way to watch game 7.

In route to Rhode Island for work for a few days.




Hoping to save some time talking PCH



Breakfast of champions! Something to take the edge of for the flight!


Getting ready for take off



Not sure what lake, looked like Powell


Creeping up on Lake Michigan, it's fucking huge!!



Finally to Rhode Island after a full day of travel and I get this turd but at least it has an E brake!



Traveling for work has its perks but this is a rough trip, miss my wife and 3 girls. Woke up at 5am and finally arrived in RI at 7:30 this evening a full day shot sitting in airplanes and catching lay over flights.

I was already gone to comment on this one. Left ONT to fly to LAS for the SEMA show this year. Got back late Sat night.

A unique opportunity was offered to me about 17 months ago, I jumped. Dropped equity in my other business and went all in on to run executive management on a pro basketball league.... in India. We own the league, all 8 teams and all TV production. We produce live on TV there, we're the first who has ever done this there. It's as crazy as it sounds.







Imported the floor and goals for our last season in July. The floor was actually the NBA all star floor in Toronto last year... just refinished. Add certified basketball floor design and install management to my resume.

 

[Ultra247]

He was passing a truck on a two lane road.........the truck decided to make a left turn. Passenger and driver both in the ambulance with non life threatening injuries. They are lucky they didn't get killed.

Stuck in traffic, you see the strangest things. People in the US have no clue what the world is like.

Got off work, didn't want to sit in my hotel room and listen to the election so got in the rental and burned it out to Connecticut to the casino, unfortunately those bastards took my cash!

 

[sirbob]

Sitting in Phx airport waiting for my connection to Austin - I left the house in San Clemente at 10:45 this morning. A flight attendant didn't show up for work today and 200 people got screwed!

I'll get to the hotel in Austin around 12:30am if things go smooth from here.

Long day for nothing...

 

[Meaney77]

State liquor store stop getting booze is a pain in the ass out here!

Quick stop in Selma and Clovis to start. Up to Los Banos and back down tomorrow. If I didn't live in Chino this place might smell a bit.

Bravo Farms! Great place to grab a meal on the 99. Stop in Kettleman City on the 5 on your way back and enjoy their other location. Cow Shit does not smell by the way!

Mileage points !

Mileage points !

It took long enough lol, I've been traveling for years and have yet to setup a card or whatever to receive points, any suggestions?

Any of the usual suspects have decent programs that are worth signing up for.

I fly American and have 4 million miles - at any given time I have about 1 million in my bank.

While I'm not usually in a hurry to use them very often for myself - it's nice to have them for my kids to travel etc.

When a first class seat to London for the weekend cost $12,500 - I can use a 100k - 200k miles and it won't cost a cent!

The nice thing about American (and other big ones) is I can fly other airlines and get miles - like Etihad or Quantas or Alaska etc.

The trip you are doing now might even get you a flight or possibly be enough use those miles to upgrade your next flight.

I also have a CC that gets me AA miles.

CC miles won't goes towards your total mikes traveled but will give you "miles" you can use for upgrades or free tickets.

The real benefit I get day to day is boarding first and getting choice seats - I very rarely am the guy in the isle looking for a place for my carry on - I boarded first and it's tucked in my over head while I watch people walk back to the front of the plane and check their bag.

 

[steamin rice]

I'm off to Pocatello, Idaho tomorrow. I'll try to get some pics.

I just hit Senator with Lufthansa last month. The showers in the lounge are the best part about the whole thing for me, 1/2 way through the 27 hour journey, I get to reset my shower clock.

 

[DWC]

Hitting Scottsdale for a couple days this week. Great views. Get to check the course out tomorrow.

I just stayed there for work and want to go back. I like the rattlesnake in the aquarium. Good resteraunts in walking distance. Ate at Mastros and racket up a nice bill.

I've been to Bones (last time I sat next to Jerry / cowboys owner). I'll have to keep an eye out for the other places you mentioned [emoji1360]

 

[DWC]

The rattler isn't here. They do have a king snake and a big lizard . The fish house across the street is really good. Definitely be back
