Several times I have been able to schedule a business trip to allow us to spend a weekend some place interesting (San Francisco, St. Paul, Washington DC, and central Florida.) <BR/><BR/>Some clients will pay for the Saturday night stayover as long as I save more on the airline ticket then the hotel bill. One of my clients has stopped allowing this as the accounting clerks were complaining that we were taking vacations at the company's expense (jeolousy.) Increasingly the airlines are raising prices and dropping the Saturday night stay-over. If I can arrange the travel for a long weekend at my expense I will do it if it is in a city that I want to spend time in. WH has a conference in Chicago in late May every year, and it is only a 300 mile drive from home, so we have been a couple of times and are planning to go back again this year. <BR/><BR/>DGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-1145589750170899292006-04-20T23:22:00.000-04:002006-04-20T23:22:00.000-04:00I get to fly in and out of Chicago a couple of tim...I get to fly in and out of Chicago a couple of times a year, but I never get to see the town.
