I’m on the road this week with my job – two nights in Lafayette and two nights in New Orleans. It’s reminded me of the joys of life on the road:
- Getting paid while seeing the country (or world)
- Experiencing great food
- Picking future vacation destinations
- Unexpected perks like 400 year old brandy, sitting three rows behind the dugouts in Boston and Chicago, meeting Billy Joel in the hallway, and many more.
- Incredibly luxurious hotels whose bed linens have to be felt to be believed (at least occasionally)
- Days off with absolutely nothing to do
- Sleeping in
- Having a road crew to set-up your equipment
- The fans
- The privilege of learning that people are people whether they live in New Jersey, Nebraska, Sweden or Turkey.
