It’s not always easy to be healthy while traveling for work. It’s hard to motivate yourself when off your schedule, and long days, room service, and office donuts don’t help! I have definitely fallen off the healthy eating bandwagon lately (as well as the regular exercise bandwagon, but that’s a story for another day). It’s…
We’ve talked about our favorite airlines before. Certainly, flying is a big part of business travel. But hotels are pretty important too. I am curious about which hotel families travelers like the best. I usually stay at Hilton hotels, for a couple of reasons. First, there are Hampton Inns almost everywhere, and I can count…
Checking into news from the past week…..Here are some stories that caught my eye. Yikes. American Airlines flight attendant trainee found on the no-fly list. From NBC News. 5 urban legends of business travel destroyed, from the Jacksonville Business Journal. (Side note: While I found the article interesting, I don’t feel like any of revelations…
In a quick informal survey of family and friends, people were clearly the most stressed by packing one item. Not clothes, as you might think, or shoes. It was toiletries! My friends and family find the idea of compressing their skin care/hair care/shower regimen into a couple of tiny bags more daunting than any other…

I would love to know who my readers are—male or female, how much you travel, plus your favorite post…

You may have experienced the fact that people…
A lot of interesting stories came out this week, so I thought I’d do a quick roundup before I head to the beach with the family this weekend. MommyPoints wrote about a great way to potentially get Global Entry free for you kiddos! Boo! According to The Today Show, hotels are starting to jack up…
Like I mentioned last week, and as you may have noticed yourself, it is hot. Too hot to travel in long pants! In the spring, and even early summer, I can wear slacks to work and be comfortable (see my packing list from April). But for some reason, it’s harder for me to stay cool…
On a flight a few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to get my favorite seat (after being upgraded): the exit row aisle. I knew I could get up if I needed to, plus I had plenty of room in front of me. Or so I thought. When I arrived, the gentleman who had the…
