Some big news out of Apple today! Along with the new iPhone and Apple Watch (it’s amazing that I can no longer live without something that I didn’t know existed an hour ago. I need that watch!!), Apple Pay was unveiled to the public a little while ago. Essentially it’s an alternative to using your…
When I first started flying for my job inflight wifi was nonexistent. Before you started to board there were always a few frantic moments of trying to get that last email sent, and then you were cut off from the world until you landed.

To be fair, it has gotten better. The program my company uses has gotten faster, and now we can email PDFs…
As you may have realized by now, I am a huge fan of eBooks for a number of reasons. They make packing much easier, can entertain you for hours, reduce paper use, and save space in my house. Win! I am on my third (and favorite) Kindle, and have spent quite a bit on Kindle…
Before I start, I want to say that I still think TSA Pre-check can be one of the most helpful things for saving time on a business trip. However, I have some updates that I would like to share. First, make sure that you know that just because you have a Known Traveler number on…
After my last couple of day trips, it is very clear to me that I need a rolling briefcase. I just carry too much stuff in my purse for it to be comfortable, especially for huge airports like DFW. Even though I’ve been talking about getting one for almost a year, it just hasn’t been…
