A number of things could induce anxiety about a work trip to a far-flung locale. Will I fit into the different culture? What is the etiquette? Will I wear the right clothes? And how will I survive that 25 hours of travel time?? For some reason, the most stressful of these to me is the…
Some people have regular travel schedules. They know that every first week they’re in Cleveland and every third week they’re in Pittsburgh. Others know months in advance when they’ll be gone. Not me. Some trips I know way ahead of time, but many of my trips come up with just a week or two in…
In the poll last Friday, over half of respondents said they usually play, not work, during flights. I’m a teensy bit jealous, as I almost always have to work these days. However, there are a few times I get to have fun. As you (hopefully) know, streaming apps make it possible to watch TV and…
If you’ve been traveling for work for a long time, you might be over it. Business travel can lose its luster after a while, especially when there are lots of weather delays. Years of short tempers, cancelled flights, and long lines and your passion may fade. So in honor of Valentine’s Day, I want to…

Y’all, it is hot. A few weeks ago, I mentioned wearing the awesome Jockey Slipshorts under dresses for extra coverage and to stop chafing. These shorts are a great option, but sometimes the temperature (or humidity) is so high you don’t want the extra coverage. But how else can you stop chafing besides an extra…
I looooove water. It is my favorite beverage, hands down. For years I bought cases of bottled water to enjoy. However, several years ago I became cognizant of how wasteful bottled water is, and started using a water filter (my current favorite is by PUR). The next item I needed to find—a refillable water bottle.…
(February is a weird word to write in the plural!) February 2012: I compiled my favorite tips for the plane etiquette round up TOMS came out with ballet flats The New York Times and I disagreed about the top 5 ways to avoid baggage fees A friend got some help about traveling with injectable medicine…
Hope you all have had a fabulous holiday!! For some reason, I don’t have the patience or temperament for dramas right now. I used to watch Grey’s Anatomy religiously, but have no interest in it now. Maybe it’s because I have less time, or maybe it’s because they killed off a bunch of people I…
When I was a kid, I spent hours at the library. I read anything I could get my hands on, and there was no where I would rather be. Fast forward about twenty years, and I still love to read. But I don’t ever go to the library anymore. The combination of less time to…
