I suspect that the long hops over and back may well end up being the most lovely, boring flights you've ever taken and that the biggest problems will be making sure the flight attendant actually wakes you for some nourishment and getting your full quota of free 'beverages' :) UltraKaznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-79767255127574314922014-03-18T10:34:10.197-04:002014-03-18T10:34:10.197-04:00I have had one free trip (Dominican Republic) and ...I have had one free trip (Dominican Republic) and one free plane ticket (Japan) due to Husband's work travels. I think it's pretty awesome!<br /><br />I always love the idea of traveling until I start thinking about logistics and all the things that could go wrong. Even when it's just planning a trip home to Nova Scotia, which is something we do at least twice a year, and is really an easy trip for us thanks to the ferry terminal that is a 10 minute drive from our house. It always ends up being worth it though.<br /><br />Also, my one and only experience flying in first class happened because of a problem...A flight that I was supposed to take got delayed/cancelled (I don't remember), so they rerouted me from Saint John to Montreal (instead of Toronto), and I ended up flying first class from Montreal to Vancouver. It was pretty nice, I gotta say. Probably will never fly first class again. Ridiculous prices.JavaChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816858010039395389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-51251329546569883582014-03-17T22:13:51.663-04:002014-03-17T22:13:51.663-04:00Sorry I missed this comment earlier Dr. J!

And instead...Do not be guilty, have a great time! <br />And instead of makeup just wear that smile we see here. And please dump lots of pictures. I want to experience SA vicariously. Then you're going to have to call yourself brave, well I will...traveling FAR from home, facing lions, and gasp, smooozing. (id rather swim with sharks)Those are all well out of my comfort zone.<br />As for marrying well, I knew you'd done that when you asked "what's your reaction when you run into your spouse unexpectedly." That ? Is now my benchmark of marital health.

I'm with Mary: fear not the dressy stuff. Purses are quite unnecessary if you have pockets (although I am seldom seen away from home without mine, and I insist on pockets TOO!) and so are makeup and heels. I have no spouse to drag me to corporate things, but I'm sure I'd survive. <br />It sounds glorious, and I've always wanted to go to Africa.
