We’ve all been there. You think you have more time than you do, and you end up boarding the plane holding a latte, breakfast, your boarding pass, your phone, a magazine, and maybe your laptop—plus carrying your rollabord and briefcase. It’s a recipe for awkward maneuvers and accidental spills. Or for some, they plan it…

Quick travel tip: Look before you go!
On two out of my last three trips I have gotten verrrry lucky. First, two weeks ago. I was ready to go, feeling good because I was leaving a bit early for once, and took one last look around my hotel room. Satisfied I had gotten everything, I grabbed my bags and walked down the…
Travel Office Supplies
One of the things about traveling for work is that eventually, you’ll have to, well, work.

Here is a list of what…
Quick Travel Tip: Double check your documents!!
This is yet another post that could be titled “Home Warrior Saves the Day.” Over the weekend, the Home Warrior and I went to Playa del Carmen for a close friend’s wedding. We had a great time and the wedding was lovely, so of course we were sad yesterday when it was time to head…
Quick Travel Tip: Keep Your Phone Handy
(For you regular travelers, this will not be a new tip.) A friend of mine, who hasn’t traveled that often before, will soon be traveling for work on a regular basis. She is justifiably a little nervous, so this past weekend I caught her up on all of my tips. One of her questions surprised…

During most times of the year, I get to the airport at the last possible minute. At home, I prefer to arrive around 45 minutes prior to departure. It gives me the five to ten minutes I need to get through security, with an extra few minutes to grab something to eat to go. At…

Quick Travel Tip: Designate a Spot for Keys!!
A month ago, a coworker was traveling to visit a client. When she landed at her home airport, she rummaged through her bag for her car keys. Couldn’t find them. Starting to freak out, she pulled everything out of her purse. They weren’t there. Super frustrated, she opened her wallet to get a friend’s work…
Quick Travel Tip: Be creative if you forget something
You may remember how I neglected to make a list for my last trip to Boston. Well, in addition to being ill-prepared for the rain with footwear, I also completely forgot to pack my contacts case. Normally, I leave it in my non-liquids travel bag all the time, but after a recent trip to the…
