Glamorous Business Travel...

Warning: post title and content contains extreme sarcasm.

The past year I have worked fields in South Texas... they are some really glamorous locations to visit. I mean, who doesn't want a view of Falcon Lake from their hotel room when they go to stay in Zapata, Texas?

And even better than that, who wouldn't want to visit Laredo, Texas? A place so fabulous they even made a tv show about it on A&E called Bordertown: Laredo. Ten fabulous episodes documenting local police protecting the US border from Mexican drug cartel threats...

[Mind you, Jason and I saw the preview of this brand new show the night before my flight out to Laredo... I promised not to go anywhere alone (including my morning runs...) as Jason looked at me wide-eyed. (Side-note: just a couple months earlier ConocoPhillips suspended travel to South Texas because of an incident where a field operator was confronted by illegals...yep, they lifted suspension just in time for Lease Reviews and my business trip. Nice.)]

Today I am flying out to Del Rio, Texas.

Again, a hop, skip, and a jump to Mexico. I won't be going anywhere alone.
