Picture it… a tight connection through a difficult airport (in my case, the furthest A terminal gate at Charlotte Douglas International Airport to the furthest E terminal gate) made worse by a delayed inbound flight (runway incursion, aborted landing, no biggie). I have to dash through the airport to catch the last reasonable connecting flight…
Are you stuck at home this weekend? Tired of flipping through travel magazines and Pinterest photos of must-see destinations good for a vacation? Need to find inspiration for your next adventure? Here’s a new twist on virtual touring – travel the world through sound. When I first heard this piece on NPR a few weeks…
I read a lot of travel message boards and blogs. Its somewhat of a necessity when you travel regularly and need to be a content expert while doing so. And as I do so, I’m sometimes surprised at how much people complain about little things. But I’m working on my own skills with saying “that’s not…
I’ve been missing in action for much of the last week because my schedule has been intense – but in a good way! Its the start of the university school year and I’ve been knee-deep in sorority recruitment. There are all kinds of interesting reasons why people travel – work, hobbies, family, friends. Me? I…
Once in a while, I have very mainstream hotel stays. Okay, if we are being completely honest, I very frequently have stays at places that somehow don’t rate on the blogger remarkability map (i.e. they are not the Hyatt Vendome in Paris) – places like the Fairfield Inn Sandusky in north central Ohio. I feel…
So lets be real. Traveling with food allergies is not fun. In fact, its stressful, often times annoying, and usually ends in frustration. Unfortunately, all restaurants do not have their foods labeled, separated and conveniently packaged for people who may be intolerant to a variety of foods. BUT, with a few advanced planning techniques, obstacles…
Susan Myers has spent many hours preparing for her family’s upcoming trip to Disney World – shopping for the best flight options on Travelocity, researching hotels, and planning activities. And in the course of all planning, the well-being of her eight year-old son was at the forefront. Her son faces life-threatening allergies to peanuts and tree nuts….
Every once in a while, I have the perfect storm – an overly committed schedule combined with competing priorities magnified by poor connectivity. That defines my last 72 hours. I’ve been at a trade show since Saturday night that has needed 16 hour focused days that were punctuated by poor connectivity. It’s left me literally…
Its been a change of pace here at Jetsetter’s Homestead. Just thinking through my *personal* weekly recap wore me out. We returned to business travel after three weeks at home with a three-day trip to Ohio followed by a four day trip to Minneapolis. We’ll have some things to write up in the near future…
The signature Stitch Fix style profile just got a facelift. Over the past few weeks, the company has updated some of their questions and rejuvenated the photo selections for customers. I stumbled upon this accidentally while checking on the schedule for my next box, so if you have a Stitch Fix style profile saved already…
File this one under the category of being “sort of” right. Last week I posted about the potential for European volcano air travel disruption. Mother Nature has a sense of humor about these kinds of predictions, it seems. I had the volcano part right, but today’s red aviation alert is not for the volcano in Italy that I was…
Conference and large group meetings can be a true test to a hotel. They expose guests to more areas of the property than they might see on a typical one-night stay and can alter the balance of service provisions when hundreds of guests all want to access the same service at the same time. The…
