Meet Sam & Harry at Natio...
I have to say that I was disappointed when the Legal Sea Foods outpost at Reagan National Airport (DCA) closed. It was a lovely end-of-the-business-day oasis before the shuttle flight offering real food (compared with the fast food fare on the...
Toiletries that Fly through Se...
Among the biggest pains of the ongoing security crack down is finding one’s favorite toiletries in a 3 oz or smaller size that will pass muster with the TSA. It’s one thing to cruise the “travel size” section at CVS but...
Jermyn Street Gem...
Roger Ebert recently remembered Eyrie Mansion, an old-school hotel on Jermyn Street in London. Reading his essay, I was heartbroken that I’d never had a chance to stay there (Where else can you expect the owner to show up in your room with...
Cold Nights in Hot-lanta...
Your Nomad-in-Chief recently spent several days in Atlanta for a variety of meetings. My hotel, chosen by my hosts, was the Marriott Perimeter Center – an older property in need of a refresh. Despite the stuck-in-the-80’s feel, the staff...
San Jose’s Modern Domain...
We’re pleased to have this guest post from Amanda Crater, Founder and CEO of CraterCom — a public relations firm specializing in work for green brands. Amanda attended the recent Executive Council Value-based Sustainability summit in...
East Side Finds in New York...
A recent foray into Manhattan gave me the opportunity to try The Fitzpatrick, a relatively new hotel on Lexington between 56th & 57th Streets. It is operated by an Irish group and has another hotel in the Grand Central area as well as properties...
In-flight Wifi — A First...
I’ve bemoaned the arrival of wifi in the sky — the plane cabin is one of the last places where one could be blisfully untethered from e-mail — but felt obliged to try it today out of professional curiosity. I’m currently flying...
San Jose Recap...
I made a quick, yet pleasant, trip to San Jose to help facilitate the Executive Council’s Value-based Sustainability Summit for which I served as consulting editorial director. Admittedly a bit biased, I found it to be an interesting day with...

The Craft of Travel
I’ve been thinking a lot about craft lately. One hears about the art of travel — mostly in what’s left of the glossy magazines and usually with regard to some grand adventure, not business travel. I think that craft is a much better choice of words. Traveling well for business requires...

Meet Sam & Harry at National Airport
I have to say that I was disappointed when the Legal Sea Foods outpost at Reagan National Airport (DCA) closed. It was a lovely end-of-the-business-day oasis before the shuttle flight offering real food (compared with the fast food fare on the other side of the security check point) and an excellent...

Offset Your Carbon at SFO
You are rushing through SFO on your way to catch a flight back east or perhaps farther west to the Far East and you feel a twinge of guilt about the carbon emissions that will be required to take you there. Have no fear, the airport is now piloting kiosks — much like an ATM — where you can...

Up in the Air 2010
As we head toward a new year it is a good time to look at what lies ahead when we head to the airport. In a phrase, it isn’t pretty. The thwarted on-board bombing on a Northwest flight headed from Amsterdam to Detroit portends increased airport security with the attendant longer lines and waits....
