The other day, when I was in New Orleans on a conference, I went out with some of the guys in my group for a drink on Burbon Street. They wanted to go bar hopping and since I really didn’t want to do that, I decided to call it a night.
I asked one of the guys to point me in the right direction of the hotel and said my goodbyes. I ended up walking back to the hotel alone.
When I came home, my husband asked why didn’t anyone walk you home? I answered, I didn’t think about it. He told me that he would never let a woman walk alone, especially in a city she was unfamiliar with.
So my question to you is, if you are out on a business trip with people you know, is it proper etiquette to walk the woman back to the hotel and go out again or do you just say goodbye?
