This past weekend, I went to Chicago to visit my sisters. I hadn’t seen them since my younger sister’s wedding in February, which is six months ago. Six months is the longest I think I’ve ever gone without seeing at least one of them, so to say I was excited about this trip would be…
A few weeks ago I posted about my frustration with American Airlines with regard to charging Elite Aadvantage members $50 for a close-in award ticket. About two days after I posted that, I got an email from the Aadvantage people saying that as of the date of the email, this fee would no longer be…
I just arrived in Chicago for the weekend to visit my sisters. I settled in to my older sister’s condo, putting my suitcase in the guest room and then getting out the laptop to get some work done. For most of the morning, the kitties (Mr. Freeze is gray, Corey is orange) wandered around me,…
I recently got an interesting question from a reader: I’m going on my first business trip next month. I know I am going to carry-on, and my the first bag is a rollerboard. My question is, what exactly counts as that second, “personal” bag? A laptop bag? A shoulder bag? Or does it have to…
Many people have been talking about this, and it has been all over TV and the internet. Although I recognize that this would have been distressing for some, I think the whole situation is hilarious.

It’s been a while since I’ve done “What to Wear to the Airport,” and I have a feeling I’ll be doing another one soon for fall clothes. But I just had to write about this cardigan. The Merona Women’s Classic Cardigan Sweater is the perfect cardigan for summer. It is opaque, not sheer, but is…
As I was slogging through emails generated during my absence last week, I came across a fun one from my step-mom (yes, the step-mom that sends me all of the crazy articles and products). This article wasn’t crazy (for once!) but instead a list of some new cute suitcases from The Frisky. The best one…

Briggs & Riley is one of the premier luggage brands, with a collection for every life style from the casual traveler to the business travel elite.

Recently I went to the Home Warrior’s family reunion. While sitting around chatting with many members of his family, we somehow got on the subject of ironing. (As some of you may have realized, I am a big believer in traveling with clothes that don’t need to be ironed. There are all kinds of shirts,…
During TBEX, one of the fantastic people I met was Sheila Scarborough from Perceptive Travel (among other places). Her vitality and passion for travel are contagious, and I had a great time visiting with her. One of the things she has put together is this fantastic video that shows her packing for a business trip. …
