Sometimes, especially when I’m gone for long stretches at a time, I feel like I need a little bit of luxury while I’m traveling. It’s tricky, though, because it has to be something that doesn’t take up a lot of room and that can be carried onto a plane. Also, as the Home Warrior and…
The Home Warrior and I were driving to San Antonio to see his parents a few weeks ago, and were listening to one of my favorite NPR shows, Car Talk. One of the callers, who lived in New York, said that her significant other (boyfriend? husband? I don’t remember) refused to wear his seat belt…
First of all, I have to say that I am super impressed with my readers. Based on the poll yesterday, about half of you unpack only for longer trips. But so many of you unpack all the time! That’s amazing, and I bow to you for being so organized and dedicated. After the poll, and…
My last overnight trip was to California, and it was three nights. I remember thinking, as I very carefully hung up my clothes, how weird it was that I was very carefully hanging up my clothes. It is very rare for me to unpack–normally I just leave all of my clothes in my suitcase, and…

This past weekend some good friends came into town. As we were hugging hello, my friend said, “Have I got a story for you!!” And boy, was she right. For the sake of the story, we will call these friends John and Jane. John and Jane were flying in from California, with a layover in…
As I sat down to write my post this morning, all I could think about are the fires currently raging around Austin. Many fires surround Austin, including the huge Bastrop fire. Thousands of acres are burned, hundreds of homes are destroyed. Yesterday, family driving through town said they could see smoke in literally every direction.…
