- I will try to maximise my workday in the time zone I am visiting. When I travel from Toronto to Calgary I will get as early a flight as possible, allowing me to land and be in the office as early as possible in the Calgary business day.
- When I leave to go back to Toronto I try to catch as late a flight as possible to ensure I have as much working time in the Calgary office as possible. It means long days, early trips to the airport and late arrivals home ... but my trip is as full of available time as possible.
- Before leaving home, and before leaving the office to return home, I will load up on some "readable" items for on the plane. I can sometimes save up work for a few days and schedule to complete it on the plane.

- I never travel business class for work.
- I will try to book ahead and take advantage of special deals on airfares. I will also shop around between airlines, taking the cheapest flight rather than sticking with one airline so I can build my points/status.
- I will also shop for hotels and take the best deals, never staying in the big name, big price places. I use memberships (CPSA) to get good rates, or will use Hotwire and other services to make sure I get a good rate.
- I don't eat at fancy restaurants as a general rule, but will entertain clients in appropriate manner whenever possible!
- I try to keep my regular activities to a minimum.
- I like to spend time with the management and staff at the other offices.
- I love to get out with clients when I can.
