It's great until you end up in Boston the second week of February. Not so much fun.

Work travel is fun like the first year.  Then it sucks.

It depends on how often and where you travel.

Yes, and it doesn't stop being fun if you do it properly.

As with life, business travel is as enjoyable as you make it.

It's really the opportunity cost of not being home with my friends and family.  That's why it sucks to do it so often.

Example: sulking about missing your family and friends is not a good way to make your trip enjoyable.

if you have kids, yes.

if you don't have kids, big deal you'll see them in a few days.

Work travel is far harder on the spouse left behind w/ the kids. It's pud city when you're traveling and the kids are at home.

related, i just got a toll in the mail from 470 in denver.  just throw it in the trash right?

That is how Colorado does tolls. No idea what the repercussions to trashing it would be.

I get once a year to Vegas on work. Meet a lot of people in the travel industry and do zero work. The boss knows it but treats it as a bonus I get for hitting goals
