Is it possible to sleep well on a work trip? Reader M asks…. I can’t be the only one with sleep problems on the road, can I? My go-to is usually a Benadryl or unisom (same ingredients) but I know other people take melatonin or use those patches. Would love a post about sleep issues…
Eating well on the road is always my goal. Alas, holidays don’t care about eating plans. But now that things are mostly back to normal, it’s time to recommit! And, since it’s January, it makes sense to just continue with the theme of healthy travel. Here are my strategies for eating well, plus some easy…

TSA agents are among those affected by the shutdown, working without pay at airports across the country. As a result multiple airports have reported shutting down security lanes or even entire terminals for periods of time. This means…
Even though it’s not technically on my 2019 Plans list, like everyone else I want to recommit to regular activity in the new year. But the time! The effort!

This is the time of year when I start dreaming about my family’s annual early-summer vacation. I don’t know if it’s the crazy buildup to the holidays, the end of the fiscal year work crunch, or the cold and rainy weather. It’s this planning phase that gets me through the day is knowing that, in…
Yes friends, yet another huge company has announced a breach that affects millions of customers. This time it’s Marriott, who has announced that their Starwood database was victim to a breach that started in 2014. Up to 500 million guests’ information may have been accessed as part of this breach. This information includes some combination…
Automated security lines have been rolling out at airports across the country for a couple of years, but I finally had the opportunity to experience them myself last month. My thoughts, in short: YES. The system feels a little different but it definitely makes security lines move faster. And anything that gets me to spend…
One of the great things about travel is the occasional downtime. Occasionally I’ll have a break of a couple of hours, ad if there is no dishes, laundry, or grocery shopping to do, then I can enjoy some entertainment! Here are some book, TV, and movie recommendations for things I’ve read or watched in the…
