I’m in Tampa for the week on business and just found out that I will be returning next week.  Traveling for work is always a disruption of every day life.  It’s even worse because I have to leave the kids behind.  Next week I am going to do things in a different ways.

  1. Kids Will Come With Me – I am going to have the kids come with me this time.  While I have to go to these meetings during the week, I will have my mother take them to the pool.  After Friday, I am taking them to DisneyWorld and/or Busch Gardens.  I am really excited to take the kids to DisneyWorld. They are at a great age to go, and just by their excitement on the phone, I know that it will be a great trip.
  2. Use the Hotel Gym – This is the first time that I have used the hotel gym in a hotel.  It isn’t Gold’s Gym, but it gets the job done.  I run for 30 minutes, and then come to my room and finish up.  I work on my abs and do some pushups.  After that, I stretch.
  3. Rent My Own Car – Next week I plan on renting my own car, so I can take the family around.  I hate relying on people, and even though my coworker has been great, I still felt like I was intruding.  Next time, my own car.

If I have to go out of town, then my family comes with me.  It will give me the stress reliever that I need to have them with me after a day of all-day meetings.
