This is such an interesting time of year, clothing wise. On the one hand, in Texas it is so insanely hot stepping outside is like walking into an oven. Each morning as I get dressed I have to strategize about which items are least likely to contribute to a melting feeling when walking to my…
This week’s post is real talk, y’all. I wrote this note about productivity for my email list a few months ago, at the beginning of the summer. At that point things were fairly calm in my work/travel life but about to get crazy with kid stuff, family trips, and company coming to visit. Now we…
Business travel is critical to the jobs of many people, including yours truly. Whether you’re traveling for fun or for work, especially as a woman on her own, travel safety is always something to keep in mind. I’ve personally had all kinds of crazy stuff happen, including random employees walking into my hotel room, people…
So this is going to be a little bit of rant and a little bit of a cautionary tale. Like many business travelers I rent cars all the time, typically at least twice per month if not more. I’ve been lucky–over my 13 years of regular rentals I’ve had very few issues with being charged…
This past week I had a quick trip to the midwest, and it was an *experience*. The work was fine, the people were GREAT, but the travel had a lot of ups and downs. I’ll write more about some of those later (once the CHARGES ON MY CREDIT CARD ARE OFFICIALLY REVERSED grrrrr) but I…
Amazon Prime Day started this morning at 12am, and is in full swing! There are already some fantastic travel gear deals, with more to come on Day 2 tomorrow. Here are my favorite deals (updating throughout the day as needed). Note: Most of these deals are for a limited time only and are available only…
Every time I go outside I am slapped in the face with the fact that summer is here. I probably sound like a broken record but the high temps and high humidity are starting to get to me. Like, really. And it’s hard enough looking like a competent professional when it’s this darn hot and…
This week is Independence Day here in the US and is a BIG travel period for less-frequent travelers. You know what that means–inexperienced travelers who aren’t familiar with the travel process, and lots of them. I’m not going to lie–there will be crowds, but there are ways to prepare so that you can survive this…
Y’all. It is insanely hot, humid, and sticky here in Texas, and in much of the US. And unfortunately the hotter it gets the less my brain works. I am traveling a lot right now, and I need an easy, no-thinking-required outfit for days when I have to work and travel. I’ve got a couple…
Last December I wrote about getting a text from a friend with his crazy Global Entry renewal story. He had to wait seven weeks to get an interview scheduled and then got grilled by CBP for thirty minutes about all of his travel. Yikes! That conversation got me thinking about my own, knowing it was…
