Road Warriorette has been compensated by Michelin for this post. The views expressed here are her own. Business travel can get monotonous fast. Get up super early, fly to destination, rent a car, drive to office, work all day, drive to hotel, order room service, try to eat while answering the accumulation of emails that…
Anytime it’s cold enough to break out the boots, Texas women rejoice. Yes, sometimes we boot up prematurely—70 degrees is a little warm to wear boots with jeans—but we get so excited sometimes we can’t help it! Much of the state has been in the middle of a cold snap, and many ladies have definitely…
Sometimes, for some trips, you have to work the night shift. This is the case anytime I go to Manila. On the one hand, it’s great! Since the office I’m visiting is open during American hours, I never get jet lagged (exhausted, but not jet lagged). On the other hand, it can be really hard…
This giveaway is closed. If you’re looking for a hotel credit card, the new Club Carlson Visa has a lot going for it. For every $1 you spend at a Carlson Rezidor hotel (Radisson, Radisson Blu, Park Plaza, Park Inn, and Country Inn and Suites) you get 10 points. For every $1 spent everywhere else,…
I’ve gotten several messages asking me if I made it home from my trip to Manila last week. A lot of you have probably heard about Super Typhoon Haiyan that hit the Philippines over the weekend. I left Friday morning, and there was something very surreal about sitting in the Manila airport watching coverage of…
Many people in my life love to travel. Some of them go to incredible places, and are far more adventurous than I. One of these friends is headed to Iceland next year. While we were discussing his upcoming trip (of which I am super jealous) he told me a story that happened on another of…
Moving is really, really hard. Anyone who has ever moved can tell you that. Maybe you’re excited about the new place, maybe you’re not, but either way the actual process of moving is stressful. All the packing, the decisions about what to keep or give away, the eventual unpacking, and the myriad details and can…
Monday, I embark on the longest trip I take for my job: Manila. It takes 25 hours of transit time to go there from Texas, which can be kind of daunting. Not only is that a lot of time, when I land I go to the hotel to shower and eat, then head straight to…
You guys know I love packing lists, and have them for all types of situations. But what goes in my purse, and is therefore accessible during a flight, doesn’t really change. Maybe I’ll bring an extra book for a super long trip, but for the most part I put the same stuff in there. I…
Next week I will be flying to Manila. I’ll only be gone for a week, but because it’s so far there are lots of details to figure out. Entertainment for the 50 hours of travel, packing for the tropical climate, travel logistics, plus of course my actual work stuff. The last time I flew home…
