My dad played golf every week of his adult life. It would not be a stretch to say I first was on a golf course at two months old. As a child, I remember going my dad’s buddy’s house and watching in fascination as he made a set of kid sized clubs for me. My…
A couple months ago I mentioned a new blog I’m following, Travel Fashion Girl. She has great packing advice for all kinds of trips. One of her rules/suggestions/recommendations is that you only pack 10 pieces plus accessories. Challenge accepted! Here are the ten pieces I consider critical: 1 dress 2 pairs of pants 3 shirts…
Close your eyes, and imagine you’re on a Southwest plane. You got a boarding pass in the late B’s, so you know the chance of getting a good seat will be slim to none. But as you head down the aisle, you see several window and aisle seats available in the back of the plane.…
I admit it: I have a huge crush on Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel. He is always in control, no matter how nuts the weather around him is. The Home Warrior and I are weather junkies, and will often watch coverage of weather events happening around the world. A few years ago while watching…
Packing for a business trip can be full of anxiety. Not only do you have to pick out exactly what you’re going to wear for the next 3, 4, 5, or more days, but you also have to condense a beauty routine (that has taken you years to develop) into 3 oz bottles and a…

Here is the scenario. You are traveling internationally with your boss, and she does not have Global Entry. Should you go through the normal customs line with her? Or just zip through and meet up with her later? Another scenario: you’re traveling with someone junior than you, and he doesn’t have TSA Pre-check. Do you…
A few weeks ago, I got an email from a reader. I leave next Wednesday for my longest trip ever to Wisconsin for work. Its 10 days in Wisconsin! Thankfully I will be running from the hotel to the car and then the car to the warehouse. However, I can only bring one suitcase. Do…
For the past several years, I have been lucky in that I haven’t had to fly on the small planes very often. Last week, I flew three straight flights on small planes. Not the tiniest planes I’ve ever been on—these were the 2-2 configuration—but still quite a bit smaller than a Super 80 or 737.…
