Any traveling consultants?

[Trent]

I've been a ghost for several months, partially to my travel schedule.  Sadly it means that I feel super disconnected to the geekhack community the last couple months or so.

Below is the air travel I've covered for the 10-12 months, about a third of the locations indicated have re-visits.  Driving trips across IL, WI, MI and IN don't show up, but there are plenty of those 



Anyone else in the same travel boat as me?  I'm open to share road warrior tips (although everyone seems to have their own system).

I used to fly to 4 different cities each week cross-country.

I get shuttled about a bit by my employer. Mainly West African hellholes (Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, Equatorial Guinea. etc.), occasionally Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam) as well.

I was thinking mercenary.

I see no reason why Equatorial Guinea would need to hire mercenaries.  They have run a successful repressive dictatorship for decades now.

Well, if you're ever in NYC, I'll buy you a bagel or something.

DC I got to see some of the sights, going back there the week of Dec 2nd it seems.  San Francisco had some great sea food.  When I was in Grand Rapids I got to go to the Grrcon hacker conference, saw some great talks, and a near badge too

Survival?  Referring to something?

I've found TSA pre-check to be amazing.  I've been using it since March 2013, and its saved me probably over 200 hours waiting in security lines and the like.  It was funny one time I was travelling in a group and I was the only one that had it at the time.  Security line is super long, I take the pre check line, get through in 5 min.  30min later they get through and say hey where should we meet for dinner.  I've already finished food and 3 drinks haha.

I wouldn't mind some travel abroad but that seems pretty sketch!

"Survival" referring to being a combat road warrior. It's not really my thing, I wasn't totally dialed in. I didn't work a lot, I was the mouthpiece/face of my company. I mostly enjoyed seeing the different cities, good food/restaurants/bars and specific unique attractions. I cataloged females in and out of the work arena. Yea, I'm one of those guys. Hotel receptionists, locals, other travelers, whomever, didn't matter. Kept a few as friends over the years. Kinda miss that part of it.
