I get to go home today and I am happy, happy, happy about it.
There are benefits to business travel certainly. Get to hang out with colleagues you usually communicate with over phone, e-mail or Facebook poking. Get to see friends that live in that city. Nice to go to restaurants and expense your meal rather than calculating what that meal will do to your bottom line to the rest of the month. Lovely to be able to take showers. . . our shower at home is such crap, I refuse to use it. While you might think it is wasteful of me to take a bath rather than suffer through the trickle of water that they call a shower at our house. . . I just don’t care.
The best part of business travel is the bed. Nice big King size just right level of firmness and softness mattress with a fluffy comforter and a million and one pillows. I like to stay at The Westin and they call it The Heavenly Bed. It is heavenly. This has been my view from my Heavenly Bed for the last week.
And this is the view from my Heavenly Bed at night. . .
I would love to actually sleep in a Heavenly Bed when I’m not dealing with some level of jet lag. I often will wake up in the early morning and discover that I have been on a little trip while I have been sleeping and instead of laying head to foot, I’ve managed to flip around so I am lying sideways along the bed. One of the benefits of being in a big king sized bed (and only being 5’ 3’’).
But I am going home to our poxy shower and our tiny double sized bed that I share in a tiny little room with a view of other people’s gardens.
Stuart is meeting me at Paddington.
I can’t wait.
