Working mom business travel at its worst?

March 1, 2007

Martha of Silicon Valley Mom Blogs posted about an upcoming business trip this week that she’s really looking forward to.  And my recent jaunt to L.A. was a business trip to remember (except for the hotel.)  I’m all for going away for work, provided it’s to a good destination, I can stay at a luxury hotel (who could say no to 500-count [...]

L.A. Story

February 14, 2007

I must preface this post by saying no matter if I lose my elite status soon, I will forever be grateful to the staff of United Airlines for getting me to Chicago safely late last night in the worst snow storm I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you. Now on to the good stuff. ——————————————————————————————————– [...]

Business travelers not welcome

February 12, 2007

Has anyone out there realized that the trendier the hotel, the worse it is for business travel?  I’ve experienced this before in New York (at the Paramount, trust me the website photos lie) so you’d think I’d learn that L.A. is just the same when it comes to overpriced boutique hotels.  Is there something wrong with me because I [...]

I’m a loser, baby

February 11, 2007

My trip to the spa was terrific (blackheads be gone!) and I had a great time with my friends.  But, unfortunately, my trip ended up on a bit of a downer.  It occurred to me today on my flight home that I will lose my hard-fought elite flyer status on United Airlines in just 16 days.  This situation is the [...]

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night

February 8, 2007

I’m going to be quite the traveler the next few days.  This weekend DH is nice enough to watch junior while I go to a spa for my friend’s bachelorette celebration (clear skin, here I come).  And then on Monday, I’m traveling all the way to Los Angeles to attend my first event as a *blogger* not [...]

If you care to know, here is my definition of “work”

January 19, 2007

I got into a bit of a pickle today when I challenged the fact that Babble.com does not appear to have working parents on their blog, Strollerderby.  Jason Avant kindly responded and said that indeed “Babble has several ‘working parent’ bloggers,” and that he is “an HR specialist for a company in San Diego.”  (We have something in [...]

Random observations from Newark Liberty International Airport

January 16, 2007

I’m stuck at Newark trying to get back to O’Hare after a business meeting today. There are no “computer stations” so I’m left to sit on the floor next to a nice man from Seattle to blog. My back hurts and I’m tired. Thank god I’m not pregnant. Here is a visual of Newark Liberty Airport at [...]

November 12, 2006

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about working moms who travel for business.  I had to take a trip this week and realized there are many pros and cons for us to a business trip. Some thoughts and tips: Bring photos.  A fellow mom coworker gave me this great tip. Having photos of your kids [...]

Breast milk and biz travel don’t mix part 2

November 2, 2006

I think Lisa Foderaro of the NY Times should have talked to my friend before she wrote her article about mothers enjoying business travel.  I followed up with my friend who had to travel earlier this week, and who is still breastfeeding her 4 month old daughter. Mind you, she’s only been back at work 3 weeks, [...]

Breast Milk and Biz Travel Don’t Mix

October 24, 2006

I can’t wait to hear how this story plays out.  My friend has to travel for work next week and she is still breastfeeding her 4 month old daughter. So, she has to bring her pump to the client, figure out where she’s going to pump at the client and then, the kicker- try to figure out [...]
