Whether you’re traveling for work or fun, reading can be a great way to spend your time in transit. These days the only time I have to read is during travel, so I’ve taken to foregoing the TV (even Property Brothers, my fave) and instead losing myself in a story. My reading list has been…
Heat and humidity. Trademarks of summer in much of the country, and right now in Texas it is boiling. An 18-hour travel/work day, with vigorous airport walking, can lead to plenty of irritation in sensitive spots. And if you have to walk, or <shudder> exercise outdoors? Major discomfort awaits. Here are the different tools in…
What is the etiquette when you get to your gate after the priority groups have boarded? Is it rude to head to the priority line and board in front of the people in later groups? Reader B asks…. I got into an argument with my sister last week about travel etiquette and I thought you…

My flight a few weeks ago must have been packed with infrequent fliers. Remember the guy who nearly gave me a concussion grabbing the back of my seat? Well, before that even happened I could barely get to the gate through the giant crowd! I was running a bit late, per usual these days, and…
Making it through a conference with your sanity intact can be a challenge. Whether you are going for work, for fun, or something in between—they are a part of life. But for better or for worse, it’s not like a regular day in the office! You’ll likely be walking plenty, in a huge room with tons of…
A few weeks ago I had a hellacious travel day. The flights were actually all on time, surprisingly. But everything around them went poorly. None of the credit cards in my wallet worked. The event I was planning got delayed so I was late leaving for the airport. Security took forever and I didn’t get…
