When the other nurses my wife worked with heard that I was off to wherever? They'd say to my wife Irene..... "DON'T YOU GO WITH YOUR HUSBAND ON ALL THESE GLORIOUS TRIPS HE DOES?" She would smile and respond..... "Do you go to work with your husband?" Then smile and explain sort of what I did on these so called "glorious trips." Then the others stopped asking why she didn't go. :-) Sure on very few trips and I repeat "very few!" There were times for a wee bit of R&R site seeing, but very rarely and so fleeting you hardly re-called that part of the assignment. :-) But you surely racked up the airline flight brownie points! :-) cheers, ted -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Larry Zeitlin via LUG Sent: September-04-14 9:34 AM To: lug at leica-users.org Subject: Re: [Leica] Professional travel Scott has described the real world of professional trave. Whether for photography or anything else. A couple of decades ago a racked up 100,000 miles a year, attested to by multiple stars on a United Airlines plaque. One of my friends was obviously jealous that I got to see so much of the world until I explained that my trips consisted of going to the airport, sitting inside a metal tube for several hours, alighting at another airport, attending a meeting, returning to the airport, sitting in another metal tube and then returning home. I didn't really see the world until I started traveling for leisure. My son, an executive for Ericson, confirms that it's still the same way today, except that the airport luggage inspections are stricter.? Travel for fun, not for work.
