Tomorrow, I leave for my 11 day conference. I have done as much prep work as I can for work, and for Road Warriorette. The good news: posts will be appearing regularly! The less good news: I will have limited access to the internet, so I may be slow on responding to comments or emails.…
Preparing for a Long Time Away from the Office
You guys have been a huge help while I refine my packing strategy for my long conference next week. But in addition to packing for 12 days, I also have to prepare to be out of the office for nine working days. And by out of the office I mean virtually unreachable, not just somewhat…
Travel Perks I Love
I love perks. Of course, who doesn’t? I collect them as much as possible—from airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, and anyone else who will pass them out. Not only are they a nice little reward for all the time and money I spend on their services, they make travel that much nicer. Since I travel…

Packing for a Long Conference: The Plan
A few months ago, I ran a post about how much I stressed about what to pack for Blog World. I feel like I ended up doing pretty well, and was happy with my choices. In two weeks I leave to go to a regular work conference. Should be simple to pack, right? Normally, yes.…
Quick Travel Tip: Keep Your Phone Handy
(For you regular travelers, this will not be a new tip.) A friend of mine, who hasn’t traveled that often before, will soon be traveling for work on a regular basis. She is justifiably a little nervous, so this past weekend I caught her up on all of my tips. One of her questions surprised…
Hilton “Double Your HHonors” Promotion Is Back
In a couple weeks, I will be headed to a very long conference. I’ll be staying at an Embassy Suites, which I’m pretty excited about, since they offer free breakfast and happy hours, lots of space, etc. However, this will be a bit of a new experience for me as I will be at this…
When do you go to the airport when your flight is delayed?
On Tuesday, I was supposed to fly to San Jose for a bunch of meetings. Typically, I was flying American, going through DFW. As I was getting ready to leave the house, my husband said, “Oh wow, there are tornado warnings in Dallas.” Sure enough, here is what happened in the Dallas area that day:…
