Growing up my cousins always said that their father had a second personality that came out only when he was traveling. It was a running joke poking fun of the fact that he could be found walking at least 20 paces ahead of the group muttering all sorts of nonsense. "Travel Charlie" would make his appearance before they were even at the airport and would tag along on vacation popping up while navigating the crowds at Disney or when boarding the plane. While it may have started as a way for his three lovely daughters to poke fun of their father I've come to realize that we all need a Travel Charlie sometimes.
I travel a lot for work. One trip a year turned into one a quarter. One every few months turned to a pretty consistent stream of business trips. These days if I have an entire month without a flight I start to get the travel itch.
These days I have traveling down to a science but it wasn't always that way. I have been "that girl". The one struggling to fit her carry-on bag in the overhead compartment, the one who almost missed her flight because she was distracted buying snacks, the one who you rolled your eyes at when the TSA agent held up a bottle of water saying "ma'am, you can either drink this now or go back and check your bag". UGH. Lets never go back there.
But it is time for you to learn from me. I'll be sharing all of my travel tested tips and tricks, reviewing destinations in some of my favorite cities, and sharing the best products to make you a savvy traveler.

Travel Courtney
