I've been traveling like a mad woman lately and have been looking for ways to make my trips my easier. I hate checking bags, so I'm learning how to pack light and only bring the essentials. I've already had to run through the airport to catch my flight (I missed it BTW), so I don't need a bunch of stuff weighing me down. The first thing I did was to splurge on some Tumi LXT luggage to make packing and lugging my stuff around less of a headache. I've had my currently set for approximately 10 years and I may still use it for personal trips, but if you see me in the airport, I'll probably be wheeling these pieces around.

The next thing I need is a set of noise canceling headphones. I will spend 8 HOURS A WEEK on a plane, so I need a way to block out crying babies and loud neighbors. Right now I have my eye on these Bose headphones, but I need to try them in store.


I just need a nice pillow to help me sleep and I may go from hating work travel to tolerating it.
