I can't attend the meeting in Washington. I'Ve proposed you as the most able substitute.
But I'Ve never been on a business trip before!
It's easy enough. Just make sure you keep track of all your expenses. The accounting department will reimburse you for all your meals and travel expenses.
So the company will pay for everything?
Yes, but when you send in your expense report, you also have to file a report summarizing your trip. It's not just a big vacation, you know.
That sounds good. But what do you want me to do there?
