The Traveler
This past weekend Heather and I went to Gladwin on Saturday. We met up with my Uncle Ed, Aunt Cyndi and my parents. We had dinner and it was a great time to catch up. During dinner the subject of points came up... (my family is big on collecting points, Speedway, Hilton, Best Buy, etc.). My uncle asked me about how many nights a year I spend in hotels. Off the top of my head I said maybe about 30 nights per year.
The following day we went to Saginaw and visited with my sister and her new baby Ayanna. Went to church with my folks and had a nice family dinner where my Uncle Bob and Aunt Genie joined us for some delicious Lone Star. Man I love steak... Anyhow the Saturday convo got me thinking... how many nights per year do I spend in hotel rooms? More importantly... how many nights do I not spend at home?
Well I did a quick look through my planner and realized in 2006 I spent about 60 nights in a hotel! So I tried to make a rough count of days spent in Chicago visiting Novali... not double counting business trips to Chicago that I stayed extra, I had nearly 50 additional days gone to Chicago. Then I looked through my planner and thought about weekend trips to visit friends and/or family and that was around 25 days. So if you total that up in 2006 (I did count my projected time up until New Years) I spent nearly 135 days on the road! That is more then 1/3 of my year, so 1 in every three days I do not spend at home.
Wow. So when I blog about being on the road again... really I am just back to doing what I do best and most often... So like I always say....
"Thats what I do."
