Holy crap.

I didn't ever have to book a hotel in my old fractional job, but I frequently had to find transportation, and that was frequently a huge hassle. I'll never forget my very first trip, dragging my suitcase through the grass around the airport to the local AVIS location because the town didn't have any taxis. I should have started job hunting immediately.

That was still safer than the 4am cab ride in some little town in Mississippi, where the cab driver had a portable DVD player Velcro'd to the dash, watching a movie (until I objected) while she drove us to work.

So... yeah. Hard no on managing my own logistics on overnights. No way.
