Recently I went to the Home Warrior’s family reunion. While sitting around chatting with many members of his family, we somehow got on the subject of ironing. (As some of you may have realized, I am a big believer in traveling with clothes that don’t need to be ironed. There are all kinds of shirts,…
Last week I was in Newark, New York, and Philadelphia. Because of the events that I did, I had to bring my suitcase, a backpack, and my purse. One the way up I did check my bags (which felt super weird, actually. I kept looking around wondering why I felt so light and free), but…
Yesterday I had to drive to Dallas for the day. As I got in the car at 5:05am, I was feeling pretty good. Tired, but good. I had remembered everything! From the muffin I wanted to eat for breakfast to the plug-your-ipod-into-the-radio thing my husband had found in the shed the day before, I was…
Who would have thought the flights to and from Vegas would give me so much to write about? The drunk people, the wireless mouse, grabbing the seat in front of you….. Here is one more. On the oh so awesome flight home, which included delays and drunk people, there was another element that contributed to…
I’ve noticed that it’s the times that I’m sitting toward the back of the plane that I get most stressed about flying. Is it claustrophobia? Not feeling well? Or maybe just general irritation knowing I will have to wait a really long time to get off the aircraft (or a likely combo of all three).…

In my various lists of stuff to bring on a trip, you may have noticed that a snack is almost always mentioned. You may conclude from other comments I’ve made (eat every chance you get) that I have a thing for food. You would probably be right. I love food, and if I don’t eat…
You know the feeling. You think about your upcoming trip, and you can literally feel your heart rate increase. Or you are walking down the jetbridge to board the plane, and you walk slower and slower because you dread getting on the plane. Or once you are on the plane you start feeling like you…
I would just like to apologize for my infrequent posting over the last week or so. I came down with a nasty case of strep throat last week, and it has slowed me down in more ways than one. I am feeling much better though, so the posts are back on!! Let this be a…
A recent article by Christopher Elliott in MSNBC travel got me thinking. His article states that there are hotels now charging fees, taking a page out of the airline book. He discusses “resort fees” (basically charging you to use the pool), charging for bottles of water without spelling it out, and of course, nonrefundable hotel…
