I have always argued in some respects single people need as much if not more time to make arrangements especially before long business trips.

My company often takes the view that a single man can go anywhere at any time at the drop of a hat - not so often the have to make arrangements for someone to keep an eye on the house feed the cat etc that the married man does not.

I agree completely. Married guys think that travel is easy for a single person because a single person doesn't have a wife complaining about her husband going somewhere. What they forget is that they often have to do no preparation because the wife keeps the house running while they are gone. She makes sure that bills are paid and takes care of the yard. She makes sure that animals are fed and that the door is locked. If he forgets something extremely important, she can have it sent to him by next-day air if necessary. I become very angry at people who suggest that travel should be easy for me.
