“We only have a 7 to 14-day window,” the scheduling woman at the women’s imaging center told me, then added, “We’re going to have to postpone tomorrow.” Yup, my MRI scheduled for tomorrow to remove me from this pink limbo I’ve been hanging in since early October has been scrubbed. Perhaps I’m using this terminology…
I burst into tears as the radiologist positioned me atop the foam before squishing me beneath the plexiglass. “It’s okay, it happens all the time,” she soothingly said while comforting me. “Most of the times it’s just routine…I went through this myself recently…it’s okay.” This was my second mammogram in less than three weeks and…
Welcome to Part 2 of ways business travel dug me deeper into debt. I’ve come up with 10 ways how I foolishly spent while on the road. Here’s a link to Part 1 which explains a little of my situation and four ways. Onto the next six ways…
“You’re so lucky you travel for work.” “You have the best job ever.” “I want your job.” I’ve been hearing those comments ever since I took my first job requiring business travel. That was in 1998. Sure, I admit traveling for work is pretty groovy. I’ve been introduced to destinations I probably would never have…
As a writer, there are posts on this blog I love and others I tolerate. My friend Ben of Adventures with Ben recently nominated me to participate in TripBases ‘My 7 Links’ movement to pull out seven posts based on a specific topic. It’s been a hop, skip and a jump down memory lane in…

I’m so excited to announce I’ll be lecturing on travel to participants of Edison State College’s Lifelong Learning Institute on Monday, Oct. 24, 2011, between 1 and 3 p.m. at the Charlotte Campus in Punta Gorda, Fla. Details will be posted on the Institute’s website in August including the full course schedule and pricing. (I’m…
Would you purchase a $45 magazine subscription from someone you didn’t know because they gave a song and dance about wanting to earn a trip? I’m all for supporting the ambitions of today’s youth. When a neighbor family knocked on my door last week, I gave the son money for his Juvenile Diabetes fund-raising. I…
Holy, shmoly. Where has the month and 2010 gone? June has been a fast-paced month travel for business and pleasure. It began with a trip to Orlando for a business trip and stayed at the Rosen Shingle Creek (I’ve started a review, just haven’t finished it), then off to Naples and the Corkscrew Sanctuary for…
When blogging and writing, I’m careful about reporting the facts. I double and triple check my facts before publishing and when in doubt, I won’t include something if I can’t verify it 100 percent. Last Friday I wrote an article about History Channel’s Pawn Stars making an appearance at a pawn shop in Port Charlotte,…
