The only travel I do nowadays is to take instructions to barrister's chambers, but he ho!.

Previously, I was sent on a day trip to Eindoven to deliver arbitration papers, which meant I had to travel to Heathrow airport for my flight at 7am, having only been asked to go the previous evening at 6pm.  Still, it was overtime plus expenses and a day away from the office.

Later in the same job i worked in Cork, Ireland for 6 weeks, travelling there on Monday early morning and going home late Friday evening.  I lived in a hotel on full pay, expenses and overtime and even managed to get a few days break for OH to come and visit while I was there!  

I love that sort of stuff - travel for work is great, but even better would be to go shopping for work using somebody else's money (I've done that too with several trips to Peter Jones!)
