I haven't traveled for work for 2 years now. It is bad, especially when you have two small kids at home, missing their dad. Also, I used to feel guilty that my wife had to deal with them by herself during the couple of nights that I spent there...But anyway was also a good experience to have that moment by my own, like you said, having dinner with a glass of wine. It makes you think a lot about things that you usually can't do it when you are home since things at home are fast and noisy.
And the comebacks were always good, when you miss your loved ones, you hug them with more strength.

Well not sure if this is the right place to say that, you can ignore if you want: I noticed that you were behind a user called chimaobicollins, have you noticed that he has a possible alt chimaobi that also posts ai? chimaobicollins received a good amount of votes from this user I doubt that they are different users
