In the last five weeks, I have flown almost 12,000 miles with another 6,000+ coming my way next week. Fourteen months ago an airline who shall remain nameless, (OK I name it HERE), stripped over 46,000 miles from me because I had not flown with them in 18 months. No…
I’m back in the office today, having BlackBerry and other technical problems. Such a culture shock to be on-site all week then come back to office politics and other nonsense. Why can’t we bottle that feeling of success and a job well done and drink it when we are back…

Tomorrow is my last day in the office before I go on another business trip. From the United Kingdom to Dallas, Texas – different accents and different time zones. It’s a big ole world and in true Dallas fashion, I seem to be back in the saddle again. And that…
