Last month I went to India, which requires 30 hours of travel time from Texas. The part of the country where I was staying is not too far from the coast, and relatively humid. You can imagine my surprise, then, when on third day there, in the middle of the office, my nose started bleeding…
If you’ve been a frequent traveler for a while, you’ve probably heard of Skyroll. They make luggage designed for people who travel with suits or other clothing that needs to be hung. Traditional suit hanging or folding compartments in the interior of a suitcase lead to creases and wrinkles. Skyroll was the first to actually…
When I first started traveling for work I tended to overpack. By a lot. A complete outfit, with its own matching pair of shoes, was my typical method. After the airline lost one of my bags I forced myself to pare down. For a while, I went too far in the other direction. For example,…
Let’s face it, long flights are intimidating. Between the dry air, the endless hours, and the cramped seats, a 9 hour flight can feel like eternity! While I can’t do much about the tiny amount of personal space (aside from fork up the dough for business class) there are a few things I can bring…
When I go to work in the warmer months my favorite thing to wear is a dress. Dresses keep me cool and don’t require much thought beyond shoes and accessories. I talk a good game about skirts, and it’s true that skirts are more versatile, but I will choose a dress every time. When planning…

During my really busy travel periods (like right now!) managing my packing list is so much easier if I leave a few things in my suitcase or travel purse all the time. While it does mean I have duplicates of some items the convenience is well worth it. Another reason–I have forgotten things too often, and…
Frequent business travelers often visit two cities on the same trip. During much of the year, this means they are visiting two separate climates and must pack accordingly. I’ve talked a lot about strategies for packing for multiple climates, as well as sample wardrobes for various times of the year. But what about when you’re…
Every business traveler needs a great suitcase! At the same time, not everyone can afford to spend upwards of $500 or more. Here are my favorite carry-ons across a range of budgets. $100-$150 Ogio Layover. My first business travel suitcase was on Ogio. It went all over the world with me for over five years…
Several years ago I wrote about how important it is to have a designated place for your keys during travel. On my trip this week I was reminded in a major way: it’s not only keys that need a spot . When I woke up Tuesday morning I called a local donut shop to order…
