A while ago I wrote about a few backpacks that are professional enough for work, and would be great for business travel. It surprised me how popular that post ended up being. Evidently there are a ton of people out there looking for bags they can take on business trips that won’t hurt their backs,…
Once I discovered Uber my trips to big cities became so much simpler. No need to stand in the street hoping I can hail a cab. No worry that the credit card machine may be broken and I’ll be forced to stop at an ATM on the way to the airport. No renting a car…
I know. I’ve been complaining about being busy a lot lately. I promise I will stop soon! Until then…. For the last year and a half I have been either pregnant with or nursing twins. Therefore, I have been eating accordingly, basically everything in site. Now that I’m not nursing anymore I have GOT to…

As the Marriott and Starwood integration moves forward, some Marriott Rewards members will be notified that they need to update their passwords to be compliant with new security measures. The new password requirements will take effect on May 19, which is…
One of the first lessons I learned as a new business traveler was not to check my suitcase. That first year of work trips was full of lengthy delays at the baggage carousel, lost luggage, and frustration. Since then I have operated under the assumption that most frequent business travelers don’t check their bag. However,…

However, I know that I can be sensitive about moms traveling with kids (since I’ve been there and know how hard it is) so…
What do you do when you’re expecting bad news on a business trip? Reader S asks…. I have several work trips coming up in the next month. This is normal for me. Unfortunately my grandmother is in bad health, and could pass away at any time. I can’t stop traveling indefinitely, but I want to…
It’s getting to be that time again. Spring and summer are typically my busiest travel seasons, for some reason. I’m on the road two or three weeks per month for the foreseeable future. That means that I need things to be as easy as possible, basically all the time, especially when it comes to packing.…
Last week I flew on a number of regional jets. I don’t hate them, exactly. It’s just that they’re so darn, well, small. The aisles are small, the seats are small, omg the lavs are so so small, and the overhead bins are small. So small that anything resembling a normal sized carry on has…
Tomorrow a friend is traveling internationally for the first time. I am really excited for him (and slightly envious of his cool vacation!). When he confessed that he was a little apprehensive about the whole super long flight thing, I told him I would send him a bunch of links to past posts about international…
