Busy, busy, busy
Ok, I knew I’d be on the road a lot when I took this job. I guess I didn’t think about exactly how much I’d be on the road. Not that it’s bad. I’ve been to many, many places I’d never been before. I thought I was fairly well travelled before this. Not even.
In the last 9 weeks I don’t think I’ve been home more than 48 hours at a stretch. I’ve been to Denver, Washington D.C., Minneapolis, Secaucus, Raleigh, San Antonio, and last week Boston for the big Red Hat Summit. I know I’ve forgotten a couple towns in there.
I’ve seen baseball games in Seattle, Phoenix, Denver, D.C, Baltimore, and New York. Getting to see a game at Yankee stadium before they tear it down after this season was a treat. I got to tour Fenway Park last week during an event for the Summit but can’t count it in the list because the Sox weren’t playing.
I’ve reached Platinum status on American Airlines already. Starting to really rack up those miles. I’m doing about 6-8K miles a week right now. My hotel points are also banking fast. For every week or so on the road I earn a free night in a hotel. I’m learning how to realy work the frequent traveller racket to maximize my milage.
I also have hundreds of pictures from all my travels I need to upload but when I’m home I don’t have the time. I find all I want to do is sit on my couch or take out our boat. 🙂
