I am the girl who never ever is ready to come home from a trip. Sure, in past positions, on a business trip, I’d get tired and need the kind of rest you can only get in your own bed in your own home. But normally, I love to travel…

This is my third night on the road and all I can think about is getting back home tomorrow. It is inconceivable that it’s only Wednesday night; it feels like I’ve been gone for 2 weeks! The hotels I stayed in the last two nights had no tub, just a…
