My friends from New York are filled with stories about crazy cab drivers. My experience has been mostly pretty boring though, some eccentrics but nothing I would call crazy. A few weeks ago that all changed. After finishing up work, I needed to catch a cab from Queens into Manhattan. I hadn’t seen too many…
Close your eyes, and imagine you’re on a Southwest plane. You got a boarding pass in the late B’s, so you know the chance of getting a good seat will be slim to none. But as you head down the aisle, you see several window and aisle seats available in the back of the plane.…
For the past several years, I have been lucky in that I haven’t had to fly on the small planes very often. Last week, I flew three straight flights on small planes. Not the tiniest planes I’ve ever been on—these were the 2-2 configuration—but still quite a bit smaller than a Super 80 or 737.…
I talk a lot about carrying-on your suitcase instead of checking it. In my opinion, it is the number one time saver in business travel. However, there are a few responsibilities that come along with that. No idea what I’m talking about? Read and learn, young grasshopper. Here are my top five rules for carrying…
One of the hardest things for me to get a grasp on when I first started traveling often was the etiquette. I promise, it’s not that I’m a rude person–there are just scenarios that new travelers aren’t even aware of, and it can take a lot of travel to finally figure it all out. So…

Oh boy. Yesterday was an insane travel day. Even though day trips are always long, I should have known how rough it would be when my alarm was set for 430am, but my baby woke up at 4am. “Please, Mini Warrior!” I said. “Please can I have my extra 30 minutes!” He declined. At DFW,…
I hope you all had a very happy Labor Day! We have had a whirlwind couple of weeks in the Road Warriorette household. My sisters and their families were in town for almost a week, and the Mini Warrior had his first birthday party. Today, the movers are coming to move us out of our…
On a flight a few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to get my favorite seat (after being upgraded): the exit row aisle. I knew I could get up if I needed to, plus I had plenty of room in front of me. Or so I thought. When I arrived, the gentleman who had the…
