Each week Road Warriorette features a travel bag that hits all of the high notes for ladies on the road: pockets, construction, and (of course!) style.

Here’s the deal. There have unfortunately been a lot of plane crashes in our history, but MH17 is hitting me hard. Maybe it’s because I recently traveled to Asia and know people going to Malaysia soon. Or maybe I can’t freaking believe somebody shot a passenger plane down. Either way, instead of writing a post…
I got Global Entry last fall, and have sung its praises ever since. After waiting two and a half hours in customs returning from Manila last summer I knew I had to sign up! Now no matter how long the line customs takes about….two minutes. It’s amazing. Plus you get TSA Pre-check, saving time at…
