A few trips ago, I packed all of my normal stuff for a plane ride: iPhone, Kindle, magazine, snacks, and knitting. It was only once I was on the actual flight that I realized I had forgotten to wind my yarn, and so had a pretty much useless skein. In my early morning purse packing,…
According to MSNBC, the lucky passengers that fly Delta, AirTran, and Virgin America over the holidays will get free in-flight Wifi. The airlines have partnered with Google Chrome to offer free Gogo Wi-fi from November 20 until January 2. I think this is a great thing, and really hope people take advantage. I personally have…
Recently I received a question from a reader: I’ll be taking my first flight in a few months time, which is both exciting and terrifying. Here is my problem: I am unable to find a direct flight — or even a one-stop flight. Instead, I am faced with two stop flights, which I will be…
Something that has popped up on some blogs that I frequent is what to do with your purse while traveling. How do you fit it in your laptop bag? Why do airlines hate women, only allowing two carry-ons? What if your laptop is huge? My laptop bag is not that attractive, I don’t want it…

Because I have received questions about what my purse looks like, as a follow up to the post below I wanted to make a post about my specific purse. I love, love my purse! I had a purse similar to this one for two and a half years. As you can see, it is very…
I was talking to a friend after my recent trip to Chicago, and she said to me, “You only take a suitcase and one carry-on bag? How is that possible? What goes in your purse??” I’ve already told you what I pack in my suitcase for a typical trip, and now, for my friend, I…
I was recently asked what one should wear to the airport, as opposed to what one should not wear to the airport (see post below). So, in honor of my shirt made of metal, here is what I typically wear to the airport. Comfortable, yet professional slacks, usually black. It’s best if they don’t wrinkle…
If you watched any news at all over the weekend, you heard about the scary events of Christmas Day on the flight to Detroit. Whenever things like this happen, I inevitably get the question: “Are you ever afraid to fly?” The answer, of course, is yes, sometimes I get a little freaked out about flying.…
Happy late-Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had a more eventful holiday than I would have liked (pipes getting clogged, dishwasher draining into sink, water spilling out onto the floor, plumbers called…..sigh) but it was still lots of fun and filled with lots of family. The only traveling we did was…
