Business Travel

3  If you can secure the evening of a local in your destination town, you can get quite an amazing tour of the area and see things that tourists may never find. It isn't that hard to invite a local to be your guide. If you have expense account money, you can arrange to buy your guide dinner. They get a good meal for free, and you get a guided tour of the area. But don't be afraid to be a tourist if you are in a great city and you want to see the big sites. It can be a fine memory of your visit to the town, and after all, you've worked hard on your business objectives so you are entitled to some relaxation.

4  If you are there on Friday, but your work must be continued on Monday, most businesses would rather pay for two nights in a hotel and meals than fly you home and back out again. So you can keep your rental car and simply put aside your business for a while and really explore the local haunts.
