The good thing about it is we get to go to the airport. The bad thing about it is there's only one nighttime kiss."" And so Bauer simply alternates good things that happen because My Mom Travels A Lot (""Dad and I eat out more often""; ""sometimes I get to stay up late"") with bad things (""Dad can never find my boots""; ""we miss her"") until, inevitably, we arrive at the best thing--""she always comes back!""
