Okay -- I'm sure there are some business trip type regulars here...

I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere GA (which isn't much differnt from the middle of nowhere GA I live, just none of my friends out here) until Thursday for a training class. What do yall do to pass the time when your not doing work?

At least you have the DMF!  ;D

What part of BFG are you in?
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

I don't travel for work but my wife does. So when she's gone I just pass the time with hookers and blow my bible and volunteering at the soup kitchen.

Here's what I do with my (very limited) spare time on business trips:
- bicycle rides (used to rent, now I have a folding bike I bring with me)
- go for jogs
- go for long walks
- other outdoor activities (once rented a motorbike, once a canoe, etc.)
- meet up with local friends
- see if there are any board members nearby to meet up with
- catch up on my reading - go to a cafe or restaurant and hang out with a book

Your'e on a trip in the same State you live in, and you can't figure out what to do?
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

usually take a camera and do a little exploring in the area.


or



get drunk and hang out in the pool.


luckily, it seems like 75% of my travel is with other people from work, so I usually have someone else to be bored with me.

If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

Yeah, that was in Stockholm, I decided to paddle around the islands.

Although I should have gone for a kayak (they were much more expensive). 

Canoeing by yourself might be good in calm waters, but everytime a power boat went by, it twirled me around.  Made it very difficult to make any progress.

Thats much better than hanging out in a bar [thumbsup]

I used to ride around on the JR line when I went to Tokyo...

I guess that wont help much for GA.
