I live & work very close to the industry I'm involved in. I'd be happy to travel a bit further than 20 minute drive from the office.
1 business trip in 6 years. 1.5 flight up, 2.5 hours of inductions/waiting, 2 hours work, 2 hours of driving around & waiting, 1.5 hour flight back. I'd love to go up to China to "inspect" our current project. :-) Dave On 12/16/06, Norm Baugher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Stan - that's beautiful, really brought tears to my eyes.
