The holidays are filled with so many wonderful things—time with loved ones, delicious food, maybe a year-end bonus if you’re lucky…. But if you have to travel during these last few weeks of the year you may notice that there are a ton of extra people at the airport, many of whom don’t fly often…
The holiday season is upon us! As much as I love shopping for the perfect gift for each of my loved ones, sometimes I need help with ideas. If you have a frequent traveler on your list (or if you are a frequent traveler with no idea what to ask for) here are some suggestions…
Today I want to talk about something very basic for frequent travelers: airline apps. If you have been traveling frequently for a while or feel like you’ve got a pretty good handle on things, feel free to skip this post. I haven’t thought there was a real need to talk about these apps I use…
A couple of weeks ago on my Weekend Express post a reader asked if anyone had a master list of things to do before leaving the office for a business trip. It’s a great request! As every business traveler knows, leaving the office for a trip can be a daunting task. There are so many…

Oh, rain. I love rain, and as a Texan in the middle of a drought I don’t see nearly enough of it. So when I am lucky enough to see it, I want to wallow in it. Sit inside my house with a cup of tea, curled up on the couch looking out the window.…
Y’all, I am burnt out on travel. I have gone somewhere every single week for the last three months. After this much time on the road some things become routine but others start slipping through the cracks. When I notice that I’m forgetting essentials, it’s time to slow down and make a list. Here are…
Traveling is stressful, but when you add work into the mix stress can go through the roof. It often begins before you’ve even started traveling.
