My reservation in under 007
Traveling through the airport last night I wondered what ever happened to the jet set? I may be showing my age here. A long time ago there people who hoped a plane to far off cities could call themselves jetsetters. It’s an exciting sounding name that evokes mystery, romance and importance. Today, we call our selves business travelers. The term evokes ant like motion of identical suits being shuffled into and out of airports. Yes, I am saying traveling has lost its romance. I guess I had in mind more of 007 martini and fast cars sort of thing and it is never really that way. I am lucky when the cab is clean. The painful world of reality smashes head long into movie script fantasy once again.
I am in Raleigh Durham, NC for a meeting with the team I work with. Normally we are spread out all over. This is our one time a year to see each other face to face. Other then the one other person in Dallas on my team, all of them are new faces for me. It will be nice to match faces to voices from the telephone.
