Combining Business with Pleasure in Delhi
Posted on Oct 14, 2009 under Travel | No CommentPatrick found out that he was going to have to take a business trip out of the country. While this was intriguing to him, he was also concerned about it, due mostly to the fact that it was business oriented and most of his time would be consumed by meetings, yet all of the necessary planning and arrangements that go along with travel would have to be made. His wife Sandy pointed out to him that he was taking a rather immature attitude perspective to this and that he should look at it as a great opportunity. After a couple of days of thinking, Patrick had always been known as a great ponderer, he realized that Sandy was right, and it was shortly after he decided to look forward to the trip that he found out he would be going to Delhi, India.
This was particularly exciting because India had always been one of the places that Sandy most wanted to visit. When Patrick found out he would be staying in one of the Delhi hotels he knew that would mean that Sandy would want to go with him. This was exciting to Patrick because usually he had to take these trips alone, and he and Sandy were so close that it just created a lonely and vacant aspect to most of his work related trips.
Sandy was overjoyed at the idea of going to India with Patrick and they immediately made plans. And while Patrick still had to spend a great deal of his time in business meetings and work related projects, they still were able to visit many great landmarks together. And during the day when Patrick was at work, Sandy was able to tour the places she had always wanted to. They were both amazed by the historic architecture and Sandy’s favorite monument was India Gate. Compared to some of the temples they had been to, like the Lotus Temple, Patrick thought this was a somewhat simple landmark to be such an icon. Sandy, however, appreciated its history and cultural significance, which contributed to making it her favorite.
