As someone who spends about 25 days of every month traveling, I can completely understand every point that Tara makes in her recent post called Travel 101.2. If you happen to do a lot of travel for work, I’d highly recommend reading her post. Particularly the bit about using things like TripIt for itinerary management and buying good luggage. (I use the Samsonite Black Label Opto, which she links to in her post.)
