Home is where...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Chances are, a business traveler is happier about being on the road than his or her spouse is about being home alone with the kids. Homewood Suites had a survey taken of more than 500 people who stayed at its hotels, and found 59 percent believe they travel the right amount for their business. Thirty-six percent said they travel too much and 5 percent said they travel too little. But 53 percent said their spouses or significant others believe they're traveling too much. Thirty-two percent said their sweeties believe they're away from home the right amount. And 3 percent said their spouses, apparently reveling in peace and quiet and the ability to leave dirty dishes around, think they don't travel enough.
