I generally travel light. This blog has the running joke about Things I Forgot when I travel. This time, I out did myself. It started because I didn’t feel like lugging around the laptop. And since I was only going to two nights, I… Continue Reading “What Happens When I Actively Try to Travel Light”
Winter vacation in Hawaii, but this time in Kauai rather than the Big Island. I brought 1.5 books, two DVD sets and four back issues of Vanity Fair. After one travel day and one complete day, I have finished a book and two magazines.… Continue Reading “Something Slightly Different”
Just got back to town. Let’s start with “things I forgot”: Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, face cleanser. Because I left them in the shower in Honolulu. This led me to spend $20 at the new Lush store in Pentagon City, and I was still… Continue Reading “Short Week in Washington”

Things I Forgot to Bring to Washington This Week: My passport My flight itinerary My Blackberry charger (I am just going to leave the one I keep borrowing in the conference room) My glasses A nail file A notebook (who needs to write anything… Continue Reading “It is Only a Two Day Trip”
My Passport. No, I am not running for the border. How far is the border, anyway? But I normally use it for airport security because it is easier to grab than my driver’s license. A hairbrush. No kidding. Pajamas. I remembered my Urlacher… Continue Reading “Things I Forgot to Bring to Fargo”
