Quick Travel Tip: Be creative if you forget something
You may remember how I neglected to make a list for my last trip to Boston. Well, in addition to being ill-prepared for the rain with footwear, I also completely forgot to pack my contacts case. Normally, I leave it in my non-liquids travel bag all the time, but after a recent trip to the…
An Interesting Carry-On Suitcase
Anyone ever seen one of these? My mom found it in one of her magazines, and it looks so interesting. It is the Zuca Travel Pro Carry-On. The highlights: five removable packing pouches that stack like drawers, a TSA-compliant toiletry bag, and (seriously) a metal frame that doubles as a seat. Crazy! It doesn’t look…
Weird travel pic of the week
I stayed at a Hilton outside of Boston a couple of weeks ago. It was perfectly fine, although my “balcony” overlooked the indoor pool, and I didn’t have any natural light in my room. That was weird. But they must have gone through some recent remodeling. As I was walking through the underground parking garage,…

Travel Tip: Make a list!

Poll: Do you bring someone with you on business trips?
It’s summer, the time of high temperatures, long days, and family vacations. The Home Warrior and I are going to South Texas to visit my grandmother for the upcoming long weekend, and then in three weeks we leave for Puerto Rico for a week (yay!!!!!!!!!). But in between those times, I have my first business…

In the past few months I have been reading a mix of things, from complete escapist fun to end of the world mystery to memoirs. A few things I would recommend: Something Borrowed, Something Blue, Love the…
