The hardest part of it was really being away from my family - I have two small children. Last year I took over 20 business trips, so being away from them was hard.

The hardest part is to travel, and to be away from your family.

I think kids ought to travel. I think it's very good to carry kids around. It's good for them. Of course it's tough on the parents.

I travel all the time, and I have two small children.

And it's tough traveling. You know, the hotels and the airports and all that. That part, eating and getting around to the hotel room and then going on.

The amount of hassle involved in travel can be overwhelming.

Travel is hard, but entertaining is joy.

Whenever I was planning a trip or a holiday, flights and hotels were easy. But when it comes to the stuff you want to do when you get there, working that out was really hard.

I don't really like long flights any more - I find them too tiring. Flying always involves the same things these days - huge crowds at airports, waiting around, late take-offs, weather problems, and so on. I don't really enjoy travelling. I don't imagine anyone does except young children.

To me, I think when women who have children are fighting overseas, that's long distance. And that's very challenging. I really honor those families that do that.
