[Leica] Professional travel

[Ted Grant]

Hi Larry,
A side note to all of my travelling. 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

 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.
