Our Work Travel Experience
In 1990, when Seth and Tara met, Seth was travelling nearly every week
because he worked at Crawford and Associates, an Apple authorized training
center. His trips were all within the U.S. and often covered multiple cities
in a week. Since Tara was still in college, she never travelled for work.
In 1991, when Tara started working for O'Connor and Associates, a small options trading firm in the Chicago Board of Trade, she had no idea that they'd send her to work all over the globe. Her first business trip was about 6 months after she started working. Then, for the next 6 years in the Education Department, she continued to travel worldwide. Meanwhile, Seth left Crawford and stopped travelling.
Funny thing is that in 1998, the tides turned again. Tara stopped travelling for work since she left the Education department and Seth started travelling for work since he joined the Change Management department.
Travel Desinations
Seth's travel for Crawford and Associates was all domestic travel within
America whereas his travel for Perot Systems was all international.
Tara's travel for Swiss Bank was international and included these cities: Chicago, Disneyworld, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, London, San Francisco, Singapore, Tokyo, Zurich
Travel Dates
Neither one of us kept any record of where we went when. Tara decided
to create this page and piece together the various places we'd been on
business in 2000 since she was leaving Swiss Bank soon and in cleaning
out her e-mailbox and desk, she found lots of various e-mails, expense
reports, boarding passes, diaries and itineries which enabled her to piece
together our business travel schedule for the last ten years.
