I talk with my husband every night while I'm away, and I travel just about every week. We talk for at least an hour, sometimes two. While this may seem long, we can always find much to talk about. I also talk with my kids every few days (they're both living on their own now).
Since I am on the road so much, talking via telephone is just routine in keeping up with family and friends, and helps break the loneliness of my hotel room.

A Travel Resolution: Spending more quality time on the road
I've been thinking a lot about my business travel rituals while I've spent the last week at home on vacation. I hadn't realized I had some, but over the past few years it's become inevitable. Before we had secured venture funding, travel was done on the founders' dime. As we started to build rev...
Great info, Kim! Glad to hear that Marriott’s service was great, since I’m a very-frequent Marriott guest. Just another reason to have a hotel’s business card with you (and coins to make a public phone call!)

Simple Strategies for Safe Travels
I followed a piece of my own advice this week (advice I should always follow, but sometimes do not). I was nearing my hotel in Houston at 11pm, arriving when the hotel parking lot was very dark and quiet. I did not look forward to unloading my suitcase and laptop tote from the car and walking a...

I miss you, Clear Lane!
This morning’s trek through Security in Orlando (MCO) was horribly slow. Though for most travelers, this is probably typical. I have been very spoiled by the Clear Lanes, which has allowed me fast and easy transport through security for the past three years. In airports without the Clear lane...
Re #13 and online bill-pay ... I couldn't live without all of the online tools that are available now. I get all bday cards ready at one time and they get sent on the person's bday. If something isn't on my calendar (ALL airlines, hotels and car rentals need to have a feature to update our calendars), it doesn't get done. Oh, and I can watch my dog online when he's boarded at doggy-day-care. I couldn't travel each week like I do without all of the online tools.

What they DON'T tell you about business travel
I know, I know, I've been shockingly lax in posting lately. I blame it all on business travel (ok, and, maybe, too, on the dating - but let's stick to the subject). There's nothing like several weeks of darting around the east coast to remind you of some of the unspoken pitfalls of business trav...
Paris and London are fantastic. Havana will be interesting once the travel restrictions are fully lifted (and the initial rush of visitors has died down).

Little Tastes Have Created a Large Appetite
I have always wanted to visit certain places around the U.S. and the world and thought that once I had ‘checked off the box’ with each accomplishment, I’d be happy. Instead, I find myself wanting more and more of each place. I want to visit longer, immerse myself in their culture, speak their ...

When eating in restaurants, ask for exactly what you want (no sauce, dressing on the side, extra veggies in lieu of rice, for example) Most restaurants are very accommodating and it makes eating healthy in a restaurant more possible that you think.

Kare and Sharon -- Thank you both for your comments. Maybe 2009 will be a great year for partnership between the air carriers and their passengers. It's New Year's Eve, so I can hope!
Happy 2009! Carol

A Pilot’s Words of Wisdom
On the flight home last night, a pilot sat in my adjoining seat. While I wanted to take advantage of this and ask him for all of his ‘cockpit secrets,’ I waited until just about the end of the flight before I asked him this solitary question: “What one thing would you like to say to our frequen...
