Contest!! Win an OtterBox iPhone case from MobileDay! (closed)
This contest is closed. The Road Warriorette contest bonanza continues! Friends, I have discovered one of the most helpful apps for a business traveler. Ever.

What Would You Do? Travel Etiquette Survey
Surveys are being released all the time about various things related to travel, but I recently saw a clip on the Seattle news about one that really got my attention.

Guidelines for Choosing a Rollaboard Suitcase
Your carryon luggage is the foundation of packing for a business trip. It’s not a place where you want to skimp—I recommend getting the highest quality piece you can afford. Consider it an investment, as you will use it for years. I’ve had the same carryon for six years, and it is still is really…
