As more women in the United States are
working now, more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone. Since
this is still new for many, some tips are certainly in order. If you are
married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to
cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and
probably they will enjoy the experience. If you will be eating alone a good
deal, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your
digestion (消化). You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance
and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service
and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, get fully
prepared what you will need in your travel as a businesswoman; this starts with
lightweight luggage which you can easily carry even when fully packed. Take a
folding case inside your suitcase; it will be very useful for dirty clothes, as
well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the trip. And
make sure you have a briefcase ( 公文箱) so that you can keep the papers you need
separate. Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier by
yourself from the first by careful planning, so that right from the start you
really can have a good trip.
