I've been with my company for 5 weeks now and I just got back from my 1st business trip. My boss and myself went to Houston Saturday and Sunday to work with an organization. Let me tell you it was a blast. I had to book my first business flight, book my first rental car, book a room to stay in (and stayed in it alone). WOW!!! A lot of firsts. I know this might be a little over done, but this is something I have always wanted to do. I have finally done it.
Just think about it for a moment...what was your first overnight business trip like?
For those out of their 20's and out of living on the margin, a look back. For those in their 20's and living paycheck to paycheck, where do we go from here? For those looking forward to "getting out of the house," real life experiences brought to you in real time.

My first business trip was quite hilarious. I worked for MCI, was young and dumb and flew to Denver for a meeting. The company paid for the airfare, reserved the hotel and provided airport transportation so I'm good to go right?
Wrong, when i checked into the hotel you could imagine my amazement that you needed a credit card for incidentals and I thought I was good to go with cash :-). Luckily my co-worker put his plastic down for me, but I really looked like a young buck.
Jlo
I remember mine too! Boy, I thought I was so cool only to find out I was too young to rent a car!! So, I had to go with an older co-worker in order to travel. I only had two months after that before I was old enough. In addition, I did not know after getting the hotel, the airfare, rental etc. that I actually had to have directions and know where I was going in this new city! Oh, the joys of working and traveling. Enjoy!! It will become a favorite time in your career...
