Ten Plus One Business Travel Tips
Here are tips to help your business trip run smoothly.
1. Do as much as you can online before you leave. Make your reservations, make your seat assignment, and print your boarding pass at home or in your office. This goes for rental cars or hotel shuttles as well.
2. To ensure that you have the proper gear, check the weather before you leave.
3. Use the one bag rule: If it doesn’t fit in one bag- don’t bring it.
4. If you can’t do number 3 (above) and must bring more than one bag consider this: Tie something on each of them like a bright red ribbon. This way you’ll be able to distinguish them from the 452 other black rollerbags coming off the plane.
5. Pack only a few basic colors. This way you don’t spend a lot of time matching everything and trying to figure out what to wear. Example: If you have black, navy or khaki pants you can easily match them with almost any top.
6. Unpack as soon as you arrive and set out what you are going to wear to the upcoming meeting.
7. After you unpack, chill out for a bit. Take a shower, read a book, call home but don’t do any work unless you HAVE to. There’ll be plenty of time for that later.
8. Carry a coupon holder-the kind you use for grocery shopping-and put all of your receipts in it. This way when you have to reconcile your expenses, you have what you need close at hand.
9. And speaking of

Looking Forward: How Will Lives Change?
Joel Kotkin, who studies metropolitan development and urban planning, talks about how people might be arranging their lives in the coming five years. And author Jamais Cascio outlines where technology might take us.
those receipts….immediately write on the reverse what the meal or meeting was for and who was present. Trying to remember this later can be problematic and inaccurate causing a whole score of problems.
10. Watch the charges in the hotel room. Often computer hookups from there can cost quite a bit. Instead, use the hotel’s guest business office. Most are well equipped with PC, printers, faxes and paper and are there for your use. Watch room service as well. Remember most tips are already calculated in the price.
PLUS ONE! Keep your safety in mind; you have very right to be escorted to your room by a staff member. And always double check the locks on the door!
For seasoned travelers, a lot of this is not news. If one of these tips helps just one person, it’ll be worth it. Safe Travels!
