Apps have changed the travel landscape. I use a variety of apps all the time, especially for airlines. I haven’t used them much for managing car rentals because, well, there weren’t really any good ones. Friends, that has changed! A little over a month ago, National Car Rental came out with their long-awaited app. After…

Using the Michelin Red Guide app to find a great restaurant
Road Warriorette has been compensated by Michelin for this post. We’ve all heard of Michelin tires, and we’ve all heard of the Michelin restaurant ratings. I never put it together that they are from the same company, but they are! Michelin recently reached out to me with an invitation to join their Ambassador program. I…
Healthy eating on the road
It’s not always easy to be healthy while traveling for work. It’s hard to motivate yourself when off your schedule, and long days, room service, and office donuts don’t help! I have definitely fallen off the healthy eating bandwagon lately (as well as the regular exercise bandwagon, but that’s a story for another day). It’s…
Poll: Who is your favorite hotel family?
We’ve talked about our favorite airlines before. Certainly, flying is a big part of business travel. But hotels are pretty important too. I am curious about which hotel families travelers like the best. I usually stay at Hilton hotels, for a couple of reasons. First, there are Hampton Inns almost everywhere, and I can count…
What to wear on a summer travel day
Y’all have probably noticed: it is hot. Really hot. And humid. This is the time of year when I start writing about how to keep cool and pack smart while looking professional on a business trip. (Check out two of those posts here and here). My advice from then still stands: Light, breathable fabrics Layers…
America Commutes
Everybody loves a good infographic, right?? As part of the contest I did with Contigo last month, they sent me this awesome Infographic. Some highlights: Over 128 million Americans commute to work every day, for an average of 25 minutes each way. Around 90% drive, 5% take public transportation, and another 5% fly. Half a…
Travel Etiquette Tip: Put your suitcase above your seat!
I know I have talked about this a lot (including during my pet peeves rant recently) but I’ve seen it happen so often lately that I want to give it its own post. Yes, we are all stressed about finding room for our suitcases. But by purposefully putting your bag far away from your seat,…
Personal Item Packing List
The personal item is the most important bag you take on a business trip. Yes, a suitcase may have all of your clothes and toiletries, but those things are replaceable. The information kept in your laptop, cell phone, and any work-related documents in your purse or briefcase would be much more difficult to replace, which…
Summer business travel? Wear a dress!
There are plenty of things to love about summer—holidays, long days, time at the pool. But in much of the country, that comes along with hot temperatures. If you’re hanging out at the beach, that’s not such a big deal, but most of us have to work for a living. Throw in a business trip,…
Taking advantage of travel breaks
Y’all, I have been gone a lot lately. In the last 12 weeks I’ve been to Vegas, Colorado, Nashville (twice), Toronto, south Texas, Manila, Connecticut, New York, and Dallas. Whew! I’m finally home for a few weeks, and I am very excited to spend time with my baby and husband, hang out with friends, and…
