Over the last 15 years or so, I have been lucky enough to travel the globe, combining business with some pleasure and I have just returned from a trip to India and the Middle East and on the flight home, I thought about starting this blog category, but not just from the standpoint of how good the Hotels, Restaurants and Airlines are, but how they help entrepreneurs and businessmen make their lives easier.  Anyone traveling with me will know that I am a determined to get the best value for my cash and will often push the boundaries of customer negotiation to the limits and that is not that I want to be difficult, rather that over the years, I have learned the ‘tricks’ of the industry from the vendor point of view!
