  Well at least the potential repercussions... On the upside, business travel for my company isn't too bad, they put us up in nice hotels, give us a generous food allowance and pay for everything. On the downside, we have to submit everything, track everything, and make logical sense out of 2 weeks worth of receipts that somehow need to make it home with you. The really downside is that if you are not organized, and lose something, it comes out of your own pocket. Thats where organization comes in handy. Kind of like our tracking for spending here during the U-Turn challenge I forced myself to spend a little time each night to figure out what went where and made sure that all of my receipts for each day were accounted for. Each night, I would put them into an envelope that carried all of my receipts for the entire 2 week trip. It was sure a lot easier to do it this way than it would have been to "try to remember' where I put that receipt. (trust me, Ive played that game in the past)

   

  Another life lesson learned, Thanks to the U-Turn Challenge!!!

   

  On a side note, my wife is a superstar for taking care of all the issues that arose while I was gone. I am not sure I could have held it together with the 2 kids fighting of crisis after crisis, especially during the most busy time of the year. (or so it seems)
