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:

• On the road and looking for a clean bathroom?  Download the SitOrSquat: Restroom Finder app in the iTunes app store by Charmin.  It provides ratings and reviews of restrooms nearest you.  It also allows you to bookmark a restroom that worked out previously for you.  If you are driving a long distance and are looking for a good place to reliably find a restroom during business hours try a courthouse restroom.  They are open to the public and you’ll get to see some pretty cool buildings.

Week in review:

• Doing lots of trips back to back isn’t easy. Here are some things I do in between to stay ready and refreshed.  In between trips.
• Eco-friendly travel is a great ideal, but not so easy on business trips. Here are some simple ways to green your next trip.  5 easy ways to be eco-friendly on business trips.
• What is the proper travel etiquette if you need to move someone’s carry-on? It’s not actually that hard…. Etiquette tip: The right way to move someone else’s bag.
• Is it possible to fit all everything you need for a trip into a small suitcase when you’re used to a full-sized one?  How do you transition to a smaller suitcase?

Comment of the week:

• This week I did a post on how to transition to a smaller suitcase? @Marc is our comment of the week and said

“I don’t like to fly with boots on, even if I need them at my destination. So for a three day trip to New York in February, I packed them in my carry-on. But they took half the space in it! My winter jacket took the other half… Imagine this summer when I won’t need those how much space I will have in my little suitcase!

More seriously, to travel light, I make a point to only bring what I will absolutely need. It’s easy to say “Ah I’ll bring another shirt or sweater just in case” or “I’ll probably want to wear a casual pair of shoes at night rather than my work shoes”.

Sure, if I bring that extra shirt or sweater, I’ll probably wear it. Same thing for that extra pair of shoes. But do I really need them? Nope. I might wish I had them because I would be more comfy, but i will still be able to make it through the three days without too much trouble!”

Readers, chime in with what’s on your mind! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
