Even when out on the outskirts of town I値l try to catch the local bus or light rail into town and just see where I end up. A park or local shops and restaurants. Either way, I知 outside and walking and exercising. I do this job because I like seeing places, so I make a point of it. My kit bag turns into a handy backpack, so if I end up somewhere I can take a nice hike, I知 prepared.

I got into this job because I used to like seeing places, but being on the road 25 days a month has pretty much killed any enjoyment I got out of travel. How do you keep it fun? It痴 rare I have time to go further than the immediate vicinity of our hotels and usually they池e not by anything interesting.
Yup, totally agree.

Oh good idea! I used to be into geocaching way back in the day (when you had to use a stand-alone GPS and print off the directions and clues ahead of time).

You can still do it the same way! A standalone GPS usually gets you better coordinates than a phone GPS anyway.

Check into your room, put your stuff away, sit on bed worrying about your debt/income ratio, if UA will ever call back and if Jimmy Johns is still open. (It never is) Call the wife who isn't that interested where you are and say goodnight. Then turn the TV on doze off to a rerun of ice road truckers until you remember you forgot to plug in your ipad. Get up and do that, but now you're not tired anymore. Show time in 4 hours. Rinse and repeat.
