Makin' it up to escape reality
I just got back from a business trip to Evian last night. This was a hard trip physically.
We all (about 75 from the US) travelled Economy class so it was difficult to relax and sleep. The plane took off at 6:00 p.m. our time and who's sleepy at that time anyway? We landed at Heathrow 6 hours later and had a 3 hour layover. Got on another plane to get to Geneva and had to go to a meeting until 6:00 p.m. The bus forgot to pick us up and finally showed up at 7:00 p.m. 1 1/2 hours on a bus to Evian. Dinner was at 9:00 p.m. that night with about 250 people. Got some sleep that night and went to an all day meeting and dinner for 375 on Thursday night. Most of us couldn't sleep that night but had to get up by 6:00 in order to pack, have breakfast, check out and get to the meeting at 8:30 only to have it not start until 9:15. Then we got on a bus at 11:00 a.m. to go to the airport. The driver was wild. Most people felt carsick by the time we got to the Geneva airport. Then we had a 2 1/2 hour wait at the airport to get on a plane to Heathrow where we had a 3 hour layover again. Our plane landed early though by about 40 minutes so I made it home by 11:00 p.m.
Then my cats decided to pay me back for going away by urinating in the downstairs lavatory and moving their bowels in the upstairs bathroom.
Welcome home.
