The first rule of business travel is don’t book the last flight of the day to your end destination – especially when you have a three hour ride to the airport and, guess what, the last 20 miles are in Chicago rush hour traffic… My thanks to Mario Briccetti (Steel 101 instructor) who imitated another famous Mario and managed to get Brett and myself to the airport with at least 3 minutes to spare… Just part of being a Steel 101 instructor off to places not normally traveled in order to get a great tour of a steel mill. In this case it was SSAB plate mill in Iowa.
