ALL ABOUT BUSINESS TRAVEL
If you have to define business travel, it would be a trip taken from your current base, i.e, your place of work to a different place for official purposes for a significant duration of time. It isn’t similar to personal travel because you do not get to decide where you are headed to unless you’re the head of a company and even then, you’ll have to consider it on the basis of business prospects. The company pays you for your journey and most of the time, you can’t take your family with you. Another thing is that you are obligated to perform only the work given to you, and not for leisure or sightseeing. Want to know a little more about business trips so that you can convert one of your own into a huge success? Just read on and you’ll find everything you need. To start with, business trips are planned differently. Most of the time, companies book everything for you, but if they allow you to do it, it’s a golden opportunity to impress your superiors. For instance, if you save your company some money, they’re going to be pleased. You can check various websites for the latest deals on flights, accommodation, car rentals, etc. If you book them in advance or make reservations earlier, you’ll save yourself some last minute tension and manage to sneak in some discounts. It also wouldn’t hurt to read up about your destination so that you don’t feel lost there. It’s a good thing to try new cuisines, but avoid spending all your food allowance. If you’re going to drive, try and cut down on fuel expenses. Think in terms of high prices of petrol and global warming. Overall, it’s better to rent one. If you’re a party animal, try and restrict yourself by not partying every night. More than one or two nights of the nightlife would harm your budget. New 3 Pc Brown Business Travel LUGGAGE Suitcases Set It’s important that your baggage isn’t very bulky. Make it a point to travel only with the basic necessities. Don’t carry more clothes than required. Bring along a suitcase with many compartments so that your official papers won’t get crumpled and give you more space for your personal items. Don’t forget your credit and debit cards. Keep a list of all the official documents you’ve to carry. If possible, try and keep a photocopy of them as the originals may get lost or damaged. Communicate with your family about your complete schedule, your progress, the names and numbers of the hotels, etc. This will keep them from worrying. Also, talk to your boss and ask him/her if there’s anything important that he wants done. You can push this to the top of your priorities. It never makes a good impression to be late. So, always carry an alarm clock so that you won’t have to delay any important activities. Finally, arrive at the airport or railway station on time or it might cause a huge mishap. On the context of spending money, don’t compromise your basic amenities. A little planning beforehand should make your trip a huge success.  Amazon Price: $13.59 Used Price: $11.34 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 Review (rating: 3): This year's book didn't have as many mistakes as last year's, but it's still very negative. Does the author even like Walt Disney World? Also, I couldn't disagree more about his opinion to avoid the Magic Kingdom's Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. I've gone several times and usually it's really crowded on Friday's and the weekend's, because more locals go. I also disagree about avoiding the park that has evening Extra Magic Hours! I have found that, yes, the park is very crowded before the Extra Magic Hours begin, but once they begin the crowd thins out. It also says that there are only a few attractions that are open. That's just not true. There's a list of what attractions are open for the morning and evening Extra Magic Hours on the Disney site. He does have a lot of useful information, but his book is not the best out there! The best would be, in my opinion, the passporter books. The authors go to Walt Disney World at least a few times a month. I've never found any mistakes in their books.  Amazon Price: $16.47 Used Price: $13.25 Average Customer Rating: 4.0 Review (rating: 3): I've been a loyal reader of Waiter's blog for a long time now, and I'm a real fan of his work. As such, I was excited to read the book, and to contribute to someone who I feel has been producing really excellent content for years. That said, I was honestly disappointing. The book seemed to contain a lot more stories and confessions more suited for a therapist than readers. Sure, I care about this man, but I was hoping for entertainment and the occasional thought-provoking anecdote, the sort of thing I read on his blog. Instead, the book seems to be filled with soul-barring confessions and introspection. In short, I think Waiter missed the mark with what people want to read. I would have been just as happy to pay for a collection of the best stories from his blog instead. Therein may be the problem. Perhaps all the best work is already available for free, and with the editors calling for fresh stories Waiter was forced to start scraping the bottom of the barrel. Whatever the reason, the book simply doesn't measure up to the standards of the blog. So, my suggestion is to consider this less of a purchase and more of a donation. The free archives at the website are certainly worth more than the contents of the book, so I propose looking there for real content rather than having high hopes for what looks to me to be a mediocre collection of everything he never got around to posting about.  Amazon Price: $23.10 Used Price: $41.70 Average Customer Rating: 4.5 Review (rating: 4): This book is alright. not just recipes...which make it an interesting read. But i did find the recipes lacking...there r very few recipes....just about 10 - 12..and nothing for vegetarians at all...not the best find for me. | |
