Home Business Travel - Routine Or Chaotic?
My husband and I travel frequently by plane so have to develop ways to get our luggage from place to place efficiently. Also, we’ve had to become adept with our carry-on bags.
I’d begun to notice that many men and women use fanny packs. I realized if I use one, I don’t have to panic, “Where’s my purse?” Also, my hands are free to grab my roller suitcase and computer bag.
What did we do before the advent of the roller bags? They are so handy as we race through airports trying to catch a plane with tight connections. Jim uses a strap to attach his computer bag. I like looping mine over my handle and letting it rest on the top of my roller bag.
If you’re not traveling with business paraphernalia, a back pack or rolling duffel might suffice.
Take Essentials With You
We’ve learned, from sad experience, to take basic essentials with us…like a change of clothing, toothbrush, deodorant, make-up (for me), skin care, etc. Then if your shipped luggage doesn’t make it to your destination the same time you do, you still can go on with your business.
Have you arrived for a presentation and discover your materials are making a detour in your shipped luggage? Make sure your essential business materials are with you. We pack the main items we need for presentations in our suitcases or computer briefcase.
This is not to say we don’t have some mishaps, sometimes don’t have everything with us. However, by minimizing the chaos potential, we arrive at our destination ready for business.
