Adding Some Pleasure to your San Francisco Business Trip

by Barbara Wade

Road warriors will attest that traveling for business can offer unique challenges to even the most seasoned veterans. There are ways, however, to cope with the stress of frequent travel that can add pleasure to your business trip.

Stay Close By

One of the best ways to reduce stress during your trip is to choose accommodations close to where you’ll conduct business. Typically you would pack everything you need for the day, load it into a taxi or shuttle, then venture across town. At lunch, you would either find somewhere to temporarily house your laptop and other items while you found something to eat or travel back to your hotel and leave your belongings in your room, and then in the afternoon, a repeat of the morning’s schedule. Traveling back and forth can be stressful and expensive. — staying close to your final destination is a better choice.

In San Francisco, for example, if you’re attending a convention, you might opt to reserve lodging at a Union Square hotel near Moscone Convention Center. The convenience of being adjacent to the center and having ready access to your room can provide a reduced level of stress, while offering a savings of up to $100 a day in taxi fares.
