Hey readers! Got a question or something you want to discuss this weekend?  Here’s the perfect opportunity!  Whether you want to share an interesting travel story, a packing tip, an etiquette tip, or anything else going on in the business travel world, comment here and we’ll have a discussion.

Travel tip of the week:

• Having trouble with connecting to your hotel Wi-Fi network?  It happens to all of us.  See if your hotel has an old school hard-wired connection to connect via Ethernet cable.  You’ll often see these connections on or near the desk in your room.  Connecting  via Ethernet provides a much smoother and faster connection.  I recommend a long compact retractable Ethernet cable such as this eight foot one from Belkin.  Sometimes the hotel will have a non-removable Ethernet cable built in to the wall or desk.  Problem with this is the cable is often not very long which doesn’t give you a lot of flexibility on where you work in your room.  When this happens you’ll need an adapter to connect your longer cable to the hotels Ethernet cable.

Comment of the week:

• @Darth Chocolate posted a comment on the post I did on Business travel basics.  “Got you beat! I have been in the US precisely 6 whole days since mid-July. So I do longer-term long haul travel. I board a flight in approximately 12 hours to go home for a week, then back to China for another 4.  I would add the following to your list…” . Read the rest of the comment here
