Yahoo Travel recently came out with an article listing Martha Stewart’s Ten Rules for Flawless Travel. Now I have to admit, I love Martha Stewart. I own several of her books (she has her very own Amazon page here), often watch her cooking shows, and generally just enjoy everything she does. So I was very…
One of the most stressful parts of air travel for many people is airport security. The lines, the rules, the frayed tempers, the rush, the fear of doing something wrong… It’s a lot to worry about, especially if you are a new business traveler! Here are a few tips to help you fly through it…

Over the last month, my mother has traveled even more than I have. She was in at least 7 states, plus Canada, in a three week period. Since there was a combination of driving and flying, she had “issues” with packing her toiletries. She was driving the entire trip except for a one-night trip in…

I know I talk about the security line often. This is probably because a traveler encounters the security line each and every time they fly, and when you fly often, that is a lot of security lines. And when you see people doing things that hold up the line and slow everyone down, every single…
