I'm doing something I've never done in all the years I've traveled for work. I am actually taking time for ME. To the point that I've scheduled an earlier than needed flight. To the point that I'm payin' a bit more for a room than I HAVE to, just so I can do something I want to do.
I'm going to NYC on the 30th of October and having dinner with Blogsis Michele, of Letters From New York fame. I am so excited I can hardly stand myself. I've got a room in a hotel near my customers but in the middle of the theater district. Having grown up dreaming of performing there, that's pretty close to a dream come true.
I'm taking most of that day off just so I can be sure and get to the hotel early enough to meet her for dinner. I usually fly out late in the day, land late and hide in my room. If I can fit in a lunch or dinner between customer calls and such I will. But not this trip. No Siree.
I'm so excited I can hardly stand myself. And you know what? I may just do more of this....so watch out folks. The Travelin' Tammi Show may be headed your way.
Meanwhile? I'm having dinner in New York City with someone I cannot wait to hug!!!!!

When I was a road warrior I always made sure I stayed in centrally located hotels w/lots of amenities AND plenty of time to enjoy them. I also scheduled time to rest at the end of each day. One of my fvorite thing to do after dinner was go walking and exploring. It all made life better & the sacrifice of being away from friends & home easier.
