dotpoom Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Not quite the way the headline suggests. When I used to drink similar things would happen and we would literally wake up in a different country. It usually happened when a few of us went on an all day bender. At some stage one of us would get a mad idea of heading off to Spain,Portugal or Turkey, just about anywhere we could that was far from where we were. Most of the time we didn't even remember getting there (what I now know is called a blackout). These lads didn't decide to go till the day after the drinking when they said they should head over to Thailand and join friends already there.

gk10002000 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I often have traveled on 1/2 day notice. Several of my work contracts have ended quite suddenly. Once I got a phone call Friday night at the mall telling me no need to report Monday. Once on a Thursday I turned around to go back into the lab and my badge no longer worked! Once a dumb looking company security guy came to my desk and said go. OK. I travel light as I work away from home. I give the landlord any remaining notice or rent, or check out of the hotel, put the stuff in the car, and off to the airport. Sometimes I am lucky enough to be near some people I know that let me park my car with them. Other times I just have to go for the long term parking at the airport, or in Seattle found a great deal with the Self Storage place. First month $ 39, second month $1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
