A Short Treatise on Business Travel

Why is Ironwolf so damned lucky? He got to go to Vegas without me a few weeks ago (something I've already blogged about) and this week he is in beautiful (although apparently not sunny) Orlando, FL to visit Disney. The Disney folks even gave Ironwolf and his coworkers Magic Kingdom tickets for yesterday. Lucky bastard.

But then again, he does have to actually work on these trips - there's really not much time for fun and games. But I could never understand why Ironwolf dislikes the business travel so much. I mean, look at it - free nights away from home, nice restaurant meals, get to see different places, in the winter get away from the crappy Buffalo weather. The only drawback is not getting to see the family (and oh yeah friends too) for a couple days or weeks, which IMHO is not exactly a drawback - I would kill (ok, just maim) for a couple days away all alone *sigh*. And maybe the actual travel part itself *shrug*.

Aw, Why Can't I Go To Vegas Too?

Ironwolf will be zipping off to Las Vegas today for a few days for a conference.

I wanna go too! *whine*

Actually, we knew that this was coming up for a while, and I had intended on going with him, but my mother-in-law finally found a job not long ago, depriving us of the necessary child care.

*sigh* It's better that my MIL has a job than that I get to go to Vegas.

Of course, that doesn't mean that I'm not jealous (on top of all the usual worrying I do when Ironwolf is traveling)!

Oh, well, I guess it's fair play, since I got to go to Vegas last time without him. But I was traveling with my mother-in-law, which means {begin sarcasm} lots of wild and crazy fun {end sarcasm}.
