Mrs. Beard and I did a joint business trip (it is "our" business). And it was PERFECT!

We had a 1.5 drive for the hotel to the site, each way. No time for lunch. Dinner was late at the hotel. And then back to the room to do more work.

Part of what we were doing was writing a manual for our customer for a solar energy system we built for an offshore platform. Me in English and her translating it to Spanish, and dumbing it down for PEMEX, with the help of our customer.

She got to see what most of my business trips were like, working 10-12 hours a day. No we don't go out for fancy dinners or go get drunk each night.

We did do a convention in Mexico City together and she did get to experience a "fun" trip.
