A few months ago I posted the list of medications I take with me on business trips. The list hasn’t really changed in the last four or five years (aside from when I was pregnant and had to have Tums on hand AT ALL TIMES). I don’t like to bring too much stuff, and what…

Due to the nature of my job, I rarely travel with coworkers. A recent trip to New York was a happy exception. Not only did my coworker make the overall trip (and occasional boring meeting) much more fun, but he introduced me to a travel gadget I hadn’t seen before. I have had a Jackery…
