The Big Apple

I got to take my first business trip this week! I flew into New York on Monday and out of Thursday. Each of the new people in my office have a peer coach and so we got to go with them to the doctor's that were in their territory. My peer coach had part of the Bronx in his territory, which is where I got to go for 3 days. I will say that my peer coach and I did stick out in this area (people asked us if we were tourists) but I did love getting to go talk to eye doctors. We even had a business dinner at Dave and Busters which was so much fun (and I beat my manager in a racing game which I was secretly excited about). Overall the trip was great until my flights home...

My flight schedule was as follows:

Scheduled to leave from White Plains (a 2 gate airport) to go to D.C. then back to Florida...canceled

Now booked to go to Charlotte then Florida...canceled

Then booked to go to Philadelphia then Florida...you guessed it, canceled (at this point I had been in the airport for 8 hrs)

11:00 go hotel b.c no more planes and wake up at 4:40 to get on 6:00am flight to d.c. then home

5:00am get to airport to find out that they lost my reservation and that I can't get on another flight until 6:30pm

Then drive to La Guardia ($120 cab ride) and finally get on a flight to D.C. then home.

I did finally make it back and meet some fun airport friends, but it took a while...
