I guess one thing people forget when they are at a hotel is that if you can see out the window, someone else can see in. I have in my profile to have a low floor because I like taking the stairs if possible (and I don’t stay at too many urban locations like NYC…

Weekly Recap: week of May 13
I know I listed this as a recap of the week of May 13, but it actually started before then since I spent a weekend at my destination. Note, I don’t do this regularly and I always make sure the airfare is cheaper to do this and don’t expense anything before I would have normally…
Outsourcing Life
One of the things I struggle with most as a traveler is what will I do myself versus what should I pay someone to do. This week I finally broke down and hired lawn service. It seemed like I was gone all week and I couldn’t really enjoy my weekend until I mowed the grass. …
Travel Tip of the Week: Make a list
Last week I talked about my back from over packing. My suggestion is to create a list of items and attach conditions to them. Certain things I need every business trip such as my laptop, socks, underwear, chargers, but other things I only need certain trips such as my passport and Charles Schwab ATM card…
What a pain in the back
Sometime early last year I switched from a laptop backpack to a laptop purse. This was partially due to being sick of people asking if I was on my way to college. Yes, I thought I’d take a random trip on a Thursday in July to head back to college. I guess since I’m enrolled…
What I want for Christmas: Fozzils
I read the Charlotte Observer and as I was perusing articles they had one with the top gifts for someone who travels. Most of the products I was familiar with, but they did have something that I’ve wanted and just never investigated: completely flat dishes/spoon. I’ve been trying to get more food from the grocery…
MyShape – Experimenting with Buying Clothing Online
I don’t talk a lot about clothing because I hate shopping, I rarely think things look good on me, and I’m just not a fashionable person. I do, however, have to wear clothes so it becomes a necessary evil. I blame years of Catholic school uniforms for eliminating any chance of fashion I may have…
Travel Tip of the Week: Don’t leave anything valuable in checked luggage.
There are constantly stories about TSA luggage screeners, airline baggage handlers, and random people stealing items or whole bags. If you have jewelry, electronics, or other items of value keep them with you in your carry-on luggage. Also, if you are flying on a regional jet and need to gate-check your bag please make sure…
Product to protect you from body scanners
Where there’s a problem someone is always innovating a solution. TSA wants to see you naked so Flying Pasties created a product to block your goodies from the virtual strip searches. I will continue in the “avoiding at all costs” camp and I will opt for a pat down instead of going through a WBI,…
Travel Tip of the Week: Keep your room number secure
This one is thanks to the ladies from http://www.wickedgoodtraveltips.com/ As a woman traveling weekly I have to balance safety and convenience. The safety people say “Never leave your key in the folder/envelop with the room number” because if someone finds your packet they know the room number AND have the key. The convenience part of…
