Last week on my way to Nashville, the last seven or eight passengers to board had to check their bags. This has become fairly standard, as more and more people try to carry-on to avoid checked-baggage fees. I get it, I really do. It sucks to pay $40 or more extra per trip. But as…
I have been having a heck of a couple of weeks. Traveled every week in October, including that trip over to Manila, and spent the last two days driving all over Texas. Everything has gone surprisingly smoothly, except for one thing. My computer. For the last several months, my system has been randomly blue screen-ing…
Ever since I can remember, I have been in love with shoes. Throughout junior high and high school, my mom would constantly get on to me about my extensive shoe collection. In college, my roommates were aghast at the precarious mountain of shoes in my closet. And one of the ways in which I knew…
Building slightly off of last Friday’s post about miles and points….. Due to the nature of my travel, there are not a lot of opportunities for me to volunteer to get bumped off a flight. Lately, a ton of the flights I’ve been on have been oversold, but I don’t volunteer. Usually I have to…
Yesterday in Nashville I had a great time chatting with a friend over a fabulous dinner at Ellendale’s (seriously, that place is great, check it out!!). She has been traveling sporadically for work for a while, but the travel has been more often and consistent the last few months. When the check came, she commented…
I am probably the last person on earth to realize the possibilities of streaming videos. I’ve known for years if I miss an episode of Grey’s Anatomy I can watch it on ABC.com. And about a year ago the Home Warrior and I got onboard with Netflix streaming. Once or twice I’ve used it in…
I thought about calling this post “Top Five Travel Necessities: Clothes”, but I realized that half of the items on my list are not, in fact clothes. Hence the title “Things I Wear.” It’s hard to even remember the last time I traveled without all of these items, even on vacation. In fact, the next…
For some of you this may be old hat, but I am super excited. Why did it take so long for me to finally check in with my phone? A number of reasons. First, my home airport was slow in getting the machines necessary. Also, there are so many early-adopter horror stories going around about…
First, an update from my Manila trip last week. The visit went very well! There was no flood damage anywhere I went, and the hotel and office operated completely as normal. Thank you so much to everyone who gave me advice! I also managed to make it out to Green Hills (the famous shopping area…
In the business world, we are required to multi-task all the time. Answer email while on a conference call. Finish a report while talking to a customer. Well, in travel the more multi-taskers you’ve got, the less you have to pack. And the less you have to pack, the easier it is to get around.…
