I travel a lot for work. So far this year I have over 20,000 actual miles flown all within the continental US. I won't bore you with the details of where I have been, but as an example, last week I started off flying to San Antonio, then Minneapolis and finished the week up in Northwest Arkansas, then back to Denver.
I travel to Puerto Rico a couple of times a year, and this year I will be going to China, India and a number of Cities / Countries in Europe. I spent over a week in Sweden a few years ago.
I consider the travel to be part of my job, as I prefer face to face meeting with clients, and my employees. Some of my trips are strictly business, but on others I try to get out and see the sites, learn about the city or area I am in. Alot of the times I have local folks take me around, so I avoid the touristy places, and see more authentic areas.
Yes, I am away from family, but I try to only travel during the week (obviously that won't be practical for some of my overseas trips this year). It can be tough on both my wife and I, but my father was active duty Navy for 24 years, and he used to be gone 6-8 month stretches at a time.
As a family we spend a lot of time away camping, spend over a week at the beach, and I go to Vegas for a hockey tourny I play in every year.
