They think that you are wearing shorts, have a drink with an umbrella, are seeing a show or are at the casino. None of this could be further from the truth. I have been on two business trips in the last three weeks and I can tell you that none of that happened.
My days were spent attending sessions and responding to email messages on my iPhone. My evenings were spent reviewing more messages, working on presentations and trying to get some sleep. There were no dinners at 5 star restaurants, lying by the pool or massages. Those are the realities of business travel.
So while business travel is fine - it is not glamorous - it can change the monotony of your life, it enables you to learn many things; but, it is not a vacation.
You will be more tired when you come home, trust me on this one.
