Hi there

Yes I do travel occasionally in my current role - I've been to our UK head office a few times (1½ - 2 hour car ride) and I have to go to another branch about 40 mins away next month plus I have been to off-site training courses recently.  I just consider it part of my role now.  It can be a bit of a pain though as having 2 school age children plus a partner who travels alot himself on business I end up doing a lot of juggling, having to ask favours of other parents, family etc to cover the childcare for me.  I was supposed to be going to Geneva last month for 3 days but the trip was cancelled due to the credit crunch... Sad

At my previous employers (and in my youth!!) I did a lot of conference admin - this took me around the UK, London and to the European continent - Brussels, Paris, Frankfurt and the Netherlands.  I enjoyed those days.  It was hard work.  However,  I did get to travel business class sometimes as the employer got a cheaper deal with the airline by doing a group booking.
