The long-haul flight is a special beast. Anytime you are strapped into a metal tube with hundreds of random people for eight, ten, fourteen, or more hours, there are special considerations to make. If you have other flights before and after the long one, you are in for a very long day(s). There are plenty…
Here’s what was going on this week in years past… 2013: TSA Pre-check was introduced at my airport, and I could use it. That was not awesome. (Seriously—if you travel even once a quarter it is definitely worth it.) I discovered two things that changed my life in the same month: Outfit Posts and nude…
Okay. I had an experience last week that, had it been slightly different, would have certainly topped my most embarrassing moments list. While I will sometimes keep the dumber stuff I do to myself, I really don’t want anyone else to go through this so I’m going to just put it out there. Last week…
A few weeks ago I participated in a link-up party on Outfit Posts. The theme was “Wear it now, wear it later,” which I interpreted to mean “Wear it in cold weather, wear it in warm weather.” Now, one would hope that as we march toward April there would be more warm, and less cold.…

That tends to happen a lot this time of year, when the southern states are mostly transitioning to warmer temperatures and the northern states are still cold. In a few…
A long-standing tradition of mine is to go shopping on my birthday. It feels special and a little indulgent—perfect for a self-celebration! Old Navy has come out some fun spring items, so I headed over there yesterday to check them out. I found four pieces that I think would be good for business travel and…
One of the things that struck me while at the PGA Merchandising Show is how guys’ golf clothes are basically business casual work clothes with different shoes. Slacks and a polo, or add a sweater vest if you want to be fancy. For ladies, it’s a completely different story: golf clothes look like athletic clothes,…
What was going on during this time a year ago? Two years ago? 2013: I continued my Points for Business Travelers series with a post on shopping portals 2012: After witnessing a series of questionable etiquette situations I rounded up my top etiquette tips for planes. 2011: We had a great discussion about paying for…
