Business Travel: What If Your Business Travel Is a 6 Month Deployment to Iraq? - By Gretchen Koehler-Swaney

To me, Business Travel can mean a corporate executive traveling for the next big deal; a sales person making their rounds; or even a soldier or sailor being deployed. All are traveling on business; all leave home for a period of time on business. This article will focus on when business travel means going on deployment.

Little things get overlooked for this type of business traveler. The car insurance bill, car payments, storage for your belongings, dependent care and dependent care allotments, paycheck issues, and so on.

Make arrangements with your bank for money transfers if you can so things can be as automated as possible. Internet bill pay with your bank will help you there. Remember to take an ATM card with you with access to your checking and savings accounts so that you can move money on your own if your bank messes up. You will also need access to your money when you hit a port. Make sure your bank card has a Visa or MasterCard logo so you can purchase things via credit.

Make a list of all of your bills and how they are getting paid before you leave and take a copy of it when you leave. You may want to engage a Virtual Assistant as keeper of the list to help facilitate when you need it. It might be worth the $40 for one hour worth of follow up each month.

Don't forget to give out your FPO address so people can reach you. Remember, there are folks at home who care for you.
