My First Solo Business Trip
I was taking my first business trip all by myself and I was extremely nervous. I worried about little things, like getting from the airport to the hotel and that kind of thing. My husband told me that if it would help, I should arrange all of the little details before I go. I told him it would help if he was coming, but since that was not an option, I would take his suggestion to heart.
I decided to arrange Philadelphia airport transportation ahead of time. I rented a limo to take me from the airport to the hotel and then back to the airport again after my three days of meetings. I was given a confirmation number and was told that the driver would meet me at my luggage. I felt so much better after this and I decided that the trip would be ok after all, as long as I never left the hotel.
I arrived in Philadelphia and my driver was waiting for me, just as they had said he would be. He took me to my hotel, where I settled in nicely. By the end of the second day of meetings, I even ventured away from my hotel for dinner and some window shopping. I was glad to come home, but was also glad that I survived my first solo trip to the big city. Maybe it won’t be as scary next time.
