Packing for a Long Conference: The Results (Clothes)
Posted on 16 May 2012 by roadwarriorette
A few weeks ago, I wrapped up my longest work trip to date: a two-week conference in Florida. You guys helped me make my plan for packing for this long trip, which I really appreciate. But I’ll be honest: my packing was not perfect for this trip. I brought too many things, didn’t wear all [...]

How to fix an airplane?
Posted on 15 May 2012 by roadwarriorette
What is the deal with minor maintenance issues taking forever to deal with lately? In the last two weeks the Home Warrior and I have been on two flights that were delayed significantly because of a simple fix. And I’m not talking, like, cracks in the fuselage. I’m talking about teeny-tiny stuff. For example, the [...]
Sorry, guys. Technical difficulties.
Posted on 11 May 2012 by roadwarriorette
I have been experiencing technical difficulties with my computer for a few days now, which has made posting super difficult. I promise that everything will be worked out over the weekend and I will be back to regular posting next week!! Thanks for your...
Conference Packing Tip: Save some room!!!
Posted on 09 May 2012 by roadwarriorette
The first of what I’m sure will be many stories/learnings from my two week conference…… Where there is a conference, there is free stuff. Whether it’s papers, books, bags, water bottles, coffee mugs, or some other random tchotchkie, it doesn’t matter. Every time I’ve been to a conference, regardless of length, I have ended up [...]
Traveling During the First Trimester
Posted on 07 May 2012 by roadwarriorette
Traveling for work while you’re pregnant is tough. Oh, right. You might be wondering how I know. Well…..I have some news. The Home Warrior and I will welcome our little bundle of mini-warrior joy in August! We are very excited, and can’t wait to meet our baby. As you can imagine, being pregnant has meant [...]
A new way to make packing easier?
Posted on 04 May 2012 by roadwarriorette
Last week, I talked about the cool new travel adapter I found in TravelSmith’s recent catalog. Well, I found another interesting item as well. These “small shelves to go” hang in your closet, you fill them up with your clothes etc, they will collapse into your suitcase, then you hang them up at your destination. [...]

Duty of Care
Posted on 30 April 2012 by roadwarriorette
I learned a new term last week—Duty of Care. Don’t worry, not because something crazy happened, but because my mom’s seatmate on a flight home was in charge of Duty of Care for a large corporation. I had never heard the term before, but as soon as I did I made sure my company has [...]
Cool Travel Plug Adapter from TravelSmith
Posted on 26 April 2012 by roadwarriorette
As you know, I am always on the lookout for cool new gadgets that make travel easier. During my perusal of the latest TravelSmith catalog (always a fun time!) I found a very cool travel plug adapter. It’s an adapter/converter, and includes a built in USB port for an extra way to charge all of [...]
Traveling While Injured
Posted on 24 April 2012 by roadwarriorette
A few years ago, I managed to break both of my feet in the span of about four months. Not the most graceful period of my life. Sigh. Luckily, it wasn’t both feet at the same time, and the left on only required a shoe, not a boot, and not crutches. But the right one, [...]
Off to conference
Posted on 24 April 2012 by roadwarriorette
Tomorrow, I leave for my 11 day conference. I have done as much prep work as I can for work, and for Road Warriorette. The good news: posts will be appearing regularly! The less good news: I will have limited access to the internet, so I may be slow on responding to comments or emails. [...]
Preparing for a Long Time Away from the Office
Posted on 20 April 2012 by roadwarriorette
You guys have been a huge help while I refine my packing strategy for my long conference next week. But in addition to packing for 12 days, I also have to prepare to be out of the office for nine working days. And by out of the office I mean virtually unreachable, not just somewhat [...]
Travel Perks I Love
Posted on 19 April 2012 by roadwarriorette
I love perks. Of course, who doesn’t? I collect them as much as possible—from airlines, hotels, car rental agencies, and anyone else who will pass them out. Not only are they a nice little reward for all the time and money I spend on their services, they make travel that much nicer. Since I travel [...]
Seriously y’all, put on your seatbelts
Posted on 18 April 2012 by roadwarriorette
Have you ever woken up from a nap and not known where you were or what’s going on? Yeah, it’s happened to me too. Evidently, it has also happened to pilots….. The Home Warrior sent me this article yesterday: “Pilot Mistakenly Sends Plane into a Dive.” The title kind of gets you, right? You want [...]
