Whoa! Little bit of a drought there on making blog entries. Well no more! The main reason is that I have been out on the road for work reasons. In the last 10 days I have been to Toronto, Chicago, and Richmond, VA. All for various reasons. So with that in mind, here’s a blog entry of everything wrong with travelling:

• Airport Security
  Some people just don’t get it. How long has it been since the London liquid terror thing? 9 months? I would think that people would now know that you can’t take liquids on the plane. Even if you don’t know, there are signs all over the airports and constant nagging on the PA system telling you. But I still had people in front of me at every single airport that had to have some kind of liquid confiscated.
• Body Odor
  There should be a rule. There’s a rule at the pool. “You must shower before getting in the pool”. There should be a rule for getting through security.
• Expensive Hotels
  Why is it that the hotels that have the higher rates are also the ones that nickel and dime you to death? I stay in one hotel and it is $110/night with free wireless internet, free parking, and a free continental breakfast. I stay in another hotel and it is $179/night, $15/day for parking, $10/day for internet and no breakfast. Hello?
• Push back and wait
  Why do airlines do this? We all board the plane. They begin pushing back then stop. Then the captain comes over the loudspeaker and says that the weather is bad in the destination that we are flying to so traffic control will not let them take off. So we sit in the plane for an hour on the ground. Hello? They had to have known that before we boarded the plane, why did they board us?
• TV Channel Guides
  Hotels have got to provide a “treasure map” for what TV channels are where. I spent 15 minutes surfing channels to try to find the basketball game. Argh! Just leave a list of channels in the room (an acurate list!)
• Business travel in general
  Anytime I’m out of town for work it consists of me spending the entire day doing the client’s work, then spending the entire evening and night doing the usual work that I have to get done on a daily basis. It is tiring.

That’s about it. Enough complaining right? I admit, there are benefits to travelling as well. But the bad things are more humorous
