Off to Nashville

Tomorrow bright and early I leave for Nashville.  Not looking forward to getting up super early, but the flight is only a couple of hours, and it’s direct, so that’s pretty much as easy as it can be.  I will be home tomorrow night, only a day trip, but I will have time for dinner. …

Quick Safety Tip

I was perusing the Women Travelers board on FlyerTalk this morning, and read a lengthy discussion about travel safety for women. Most of the requests the posters had are very similar to mine , but there was one new one that I hadn’t heard before that jumped out at me. Whenever I am checking in…

American Airlines joins other airlines in raising bag fees. lame.

Granted, I have elite status with them so I don’t have to pay checked bag fees. But still! This means that now you have to pay up to $60 on top of your ticket price? I am disappointed in them.  This means that overhead bins will be running out of space even more quickly than…

What to wear to the airport

I was recently asked what one should wear to the airport, as opposed to what one should not wear to the airport (see post below). So, in honor of my shirt made of metal, here is what I typically wear to the airport. Comfortable, yet professional slacks, usually black. It’s best if they don’t wrinkle…

Quick Packing Tip

This may be less of a packing tip, and more of a “What Not to Wear to the Airport” tip. This weekend I went to Chicago for my sister’s bachelorette party. I left for the airport about twenty hours after arriving home from Manila, so there wasn’t a lot of time to get ready. Friday…

Why do I think it’s a good idea to do makeup/face cleanser/moisturizer experiments when I have to actually go somewhere to go to work? I work at home most of the time. Why doesn’t it occur to me to try something new when I am going to be at home, with no one around but…
