I love to get out on the road. And thankfully, what I do for a living provides me with plenty of opportunities to travel. But for the longest time, I was having to deal with not enough air conditioning on commercial flights. Feeling stuffed inside a metal tube for hours without enough air conditioning wasn’t all that appealing to me. It wasn’t like being able to crank the air conditioning in the car and hit the open road. But all that changed when we were sent home to work from inside the central air conditioning of home. The company wasn’t interested in having us fly to see customers. So our entire business travel changed to meet the regional needs of our people. That meant that I was able to get out on the road. That first summer of the pandemic, I was out of the air conditioning of my house more than I was in it. While my wife wasn’t all that happy with that turn of events, I was loving it. Nothing against my wife but there is just something about being out on the open road. I stayed out for weeks at a time. But every evening, I could rest assured that I’d be enjoying great air conditioning. That’s because I chose my hotels by seeing the HVAC wall units from the parking lot. And just about every hotel I stayed in off the interstate had those awesome commercial HVAC units. I’m still keeping it to the regional business travel when I can. It’s far more appealing to me to do business travel this way rather than flying.
