Here's Peter J. Frank, editor in chief of Concierge.com, on Why It Sucks To Be A Travel Writer:

• You develop an overt fascination with linens and poolside amenities.
• You forcibly subject yourself to sensual massages for the greater good of your readers.
• You get so wasted on sake you almost can't remember how amazing your multi-course (free?) dinner tasted.
• Your inability to write underwater inhibits your enjoyment of the hotel-provided complimentary Scuba lessons, thus limiting your post-Scuba reflections to the hopelessly unoriginal "one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish."
• You constantly annoy your friends by soliciting their mind-numbingly extensive recollections of last night's scallops, and by half-jokingly, half-seriously bitching about your job of permanent vacationing.

Forget the exotic beach resorts, free gourmet grub and week-long destination trips five star getaways and tropical resorts. For our next job, we'll pretty much settle for anything with health benefits.
