That was the hardest trip I ever did..
Monday we drove 4.5 hrs to go visit a customer.. Spent 2 hrs with them, 1 hr meeting and lunch, and than drove back 4.5 hrs back home..
Tuesday I got up early for meetings which was fine.. But when I got home I had to pack up for Wednesday.
Wednesday I got up and left for a trade show.. Got there early and helped set up a few booths.. Spent the whole day walking the floor and at the booth.. At 5 pm when we closed the show and the booth was down, I jumped into the car and zoomed straight to the Airport..
I arrived in Calgary at 10:05 pm and my counterparts flight was delayed. Something I was not aware of but it all worked out as I had just sat down at our meeting place. Jumped into the rental car and off to our hotel we went and got there at 10:30 Calgary time.. We sat in the lounge / bar and ate a few appetizers as none of us felt like a big meal before sleep.. Had a pop while those guys drank water.. I swear the waitress thought we were the cheapest basturds around but we were just not in to an alcoholic drink mood.. :24:
Thursday we were up early for breakfast and our first call.. 2 more calls all over town and into heavy traffic going back to the airport and just made the flight home.. Good flight home and a good today but busy one all around..
Finally Friday and back home.. A full day ahead with multiple types of customer types.. Start with no breaky as traffic was heavy and no time for food if we are to get to the first call... On our way to the second call we did a pit stop at Starbucks even if it was potentially gonna put us late for the meeting.. It did not and we got there RIGHT on time..
2 more and the day was done..
All in all a good week, but run ragged.. All the trip reports due by the end of this week as well as expenses to be filed.. :mad
