Traveling as an Engineer

zebes, has your H been offered co-worker hospitality on his assignments? I never went overseas, but in my domestic away-from-home assignments, which could last from a few days to months (with visits home) I was struck by how different sightseeing is from working and living with people from other parts of the country. And often, but not always, we were taken under the wing of a fellow engineer and invited home to dinner, or taken out to interesting places. Other times the team would travel together on weekends to see the sights. What I’m trying to say is that in my experience, working in an unfamiliar part of the US was a valuable and interesting experience, and at least as memorable as typical sightseeing.
