    Man, you travel too much! Least the weather is nice again, although it'll be sloppy on the ground.

    Lemme guess.......Idaho falls?

    Just briefly priced out airfare for my work trip to Chile (will be reimbursed in full for it) and the rough cost is $6k roundtrip.

    I'm going down twice this year, twice next and then a 6mo stay the following year. That's a LOT of travel expenditures!

    On the flip side, that's a LOT of cash back opportunities with my credit card!

    Well this isn't normal for me. I typically travel every few months for various reasons. I had to cram in a lot of travel into a few short months so I'd have it done for a deadline. It will be chill after this...

    Yeah, I haven't ran since HS. Went the past 2 nights just to see if I could take the cold, guess I can. I like running, it builds physical and mental toughness.

    That's good. Travel stresses me out. When we moved here I had to fly back to LAX to get the car. 2 weeks later fly back to Hawai'i to get exs dad (stroke). Flew into Hawaii and out on the same day. No thanks!

    Yes, 6mo is a long time. But they pay for my ENTIRE stay down there, food/lodging/rental-car etc. That's on top of my standard salary. And they're also considering sending my wife down with me for that trip since its so long.
