I hate to travel... or rather, to fly.

I hate flying, whether for business or pleasure. I'm not afraid of flying, but I do find it annoying.

Oh, there are perks to business travel. I like getting free meals, for example. I also like being able to rack up some perks on my credit cards. And sometimes, it's nice to see new places. Still, I'd prefer to stay home.

Besides, I never really get enough time to do any sight-seeing on these trips. I blew such an opportunity a few weeks ago, when I returned my rental car way too early. Oh, well.

It would help if I had company on these trips. Going sight-seeing alone just isn't very much fun.
