Good morning

In my current post I travel occasionally for meetings (no over night stay), but have been fortunate that I also set the meeting schedule so can make sure it fits my other commitments.

I have attended a training day in London and opted to take the sleeper rather than flying and staying in hotels.  I am shortly due to attend a conference in SW England and that will involve 12 hour rail journeys - I am not looking forward to the being 'stuck in a tin can' aspect but just think how much reading I can get done without all the demands on my time from other people.

I wouldn't take a job that required frequent travel because I find it too disruptive to personal life, but occasionally it is nice.  One of the perks is that I get to book the travel so if I can get first class rail tickets for less than the standard class we are allowed I do!
