It is hard to get every thing done/ see everyone you want to see when you're only home 3/7 days. There are weeks where I wish I was able to come home every night but you do what you have to do! |
Another upside of the travel is that my company lets us book everything on our own. What this means is that all of my expenses get charged to my personal credit cards and, if I am careful to pick the right card, I rack up huge credit card points that o cash in for gift cards issued by places I shop anyway. I also buy stuff with points. I am already more than $41,000 in expenses this year and I get paid back every other Friday so I cannot complain.
My Marriott Black Visa card is probably the best for racking up beaucoup points.
