Happy Thanksgiving!
I am typically on the road about 100-125 days a year but usually a trip is typically less than a week at a time. Back in 2014 I did a 22 day trip, home a day and then a 21 day trip. Until this year that was the longest I have been away from home.
This year, I left home on Saturday October 15 and I still have not been home. I am spending this week in Phoenix with my family for Thanksgiving. Here are some highlights of the trip:
- 12 different states,
- 10 different time zones,
- 14 different hotels,
- Five rental cars, and
- 16 airplane flights.
I think it will be 43 days by the time I get home.
However, enough about my trip. This post is to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and make sure everyone knows what is most important is not business but family. I got to do a “donut” run with my 4 year-old granddaughter and 22 month old grandson this morning and nothing is better than that.
Again, HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
