Re: Hotel rooms on Business travel
Posted: 09 Oct 2010 04:20
I've done some extensive business travel in my time. Just got back from a trade show in vegas a couple of months back and thought I'd talk about it:
First, trade shows. Watching some of my co-workers and customers at trade shows, I've learned: Some married couples who are having affairs use trade shows as cover. (1) They get to get away to a hotel with their partner. (2) It's easy to just take an earlier flight to spend extra time with someone. (3) Trade shows aren't like meetings. Most employers don't keep tabs on how long your there.
Recent trip to Vegas for a trade show. Stayed in a business suite. I flew in the night before the event. The room next door had a "do not disburb" sign up at 9:00 that night. I knew that was a good sign. Sure enough, they were at it most of the night and the next morning. Left the hotel just long enough to check in and say they were there, then back for another session. To find these, you need to be at one of the "host" hotels for the trade show. Walking distance to the venue, etc. Couples like this just want to stroll over, put in an appearance, then sneak back to their hotel.
This couple is one I'll be posting as soon as I get finished editing.
