Yesterday was kind of nuts. I had a routine day trip to Nashville planned, which started out going well. My Southwest direct flight was full, but I got a window seat and got some reading done. It landed on time, I got to the office, had some great meetings, and went back to the airport.…

Holiday Travel Tip: Get there early!!
During most times of the year, I get to the airport at the last possible minute. At home, I prefer to arrive around 45 minutes prior to departure. It gives me the five to ten minutes I need to get through security, with an extra few minutes to grab something to eat to go. At…
Packing heat. No, really.
When I read the headline of this CNN article, “Gun in carry-on accidentally fired“, I first thought, oh no! A gun in a carry-on was fired on a plane?? Then I thought, No way. First, how would they get it on the plane? Second, how could it be loaded? So then I read the actual…

Apparently business travelers are really just fraudsters. Awesome.
Yesterday, CNN had an article about business travelers and expense reports that got me pretty riled up.

Contest!! Win a Mighty Leaf Gift Set!! (closed)
After sitting on a freezing plane for hours on end, nothing warms you up like a steaming cup of tea. Tea’s comforting properties increase exponentially when it’s cold and blustery outside. My favorite brand of tea is Mighty Leaf, and as I’ve mentioned, I keep bags of Vanilla Bean and Chamomile Citrus with me at…
Expanding Your Travel Wardrobe: Dresses with Skirts
What?? You may be thinking. Wear a dress with a skirt? That sounds ridiculous! I thought so too, until a night a couple of years ago. I was at my favorite wine bar with a group of friends. One of my girlfriends had on a super cute gray sweater tucked into a black skirt. “How…
