Dave did a lot of travelling the last month on "business". In January he went to Pocatello for the Ag Show and Potato School. He and a buddy from work drove together and spent 3 or so days in Idaho. I was very jealous that I didn't get to go. (Not for the potato part, but for the social aspect. I am sure I could have something fun to do in that area.) Then last week he and another co-worker went to the Tulare Ag Show for the whole week. They left Monday morning at 5 am and flew to Fresno. They went to a nut farm owned by the Church, and then Tuesday and Wednesday they spent "working" at the Ag show. He said it was like the County Fair on steroids. He saw the latest and greatest in technology and other such farm stuff, got to drive four-wheelers and trucks, get a new collection of hats, and enjoy the sunshine every day.
On Thursday they had had enough, so they went to the Sequoia forest. There were 5 guys from AgriNW there, so they went together. Dave said it was amazing to see those HUGE trees.
Friday they slept in, went to a matinee, then caught their plane and made it home just before midnight. So, they basically were gone for a week, got to see new equipment, try new things, go new places, play in the sun, and eat way to much food - all on the company's dime. And, might I add, miss all 3 of his kids taking turns with the throw-ups. Aren't business trips great!

Too bad you didn't go with him to Pocatello!! I could have come and seen you! Soon enough hopefully :) It's sounds like you need some vacation time of your own!
