Business Travel Tips
Take time to be a local:
Make sure your trip isn't all work; do a little research to find at least one place in the area to visit, from a local micro-brewery to that stadium you've always wanted to see.
Embrace Delays:
Take advantage of frustrating travel hiccups; delayed flights or trains offer the perfect opportunity to call a friend to catch up.
Create down time
Make time for yourself. Whether it's waking up early to enjoy a cup of coffee and read a paper, or taking a jog before starting your day.
Be selective:
Hotel selection is paramount for business travelers; in addition to proximity and price, look for amenities such as free internet, access to a gym and/or pool, on-site dining options and a business center where you can print documents.
Separate work/sleep space:
Whenever possible, avoid working on the bed; work at the desk area of the room. Separating work and rest helps create a more relaxing travel experience.
Know your technology needs:
Invest in a wireless card and bring multiple charges (for the car and wall outlet use) so you can remain connected throughout your trip.
