Be ready to go on a moment's notice
Open in San Diego, California, travel is a part of my everyday life. Add in those unexpected trips -- like a day on Capitol Hill for the Roger Clemens hearings -- and you'll understand if I forget whether I'm coming or going!
But I wouldn't trade my job for anything,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so I've found ways to make the travel process easier,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], regardless of where I'm going,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], how soon I need to leave,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or what I have to do to get there.
Prepack toiletry bags
Spend a few extra bucks to put together separate sets of toiletries. It's a major time-saver. I keep two of these on hand: One is compliant with Transportation Security Administration carry-on standards so I can bring it for quick overnight trips. The second, which is for longer trips,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is larger and goes in my checked baggage.
Keep a technology toolkit
A universal power adapter is a must-have for the frequent traveler. I store that with my iPod speakers in a lined golf shoe bag,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which lays flat,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fits in most luggage, and keeps me from scrambling at the last minute to find my cell phone charger. A small umbrella usually fits in the bag,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], too.
Stay simple with style
Whether I'm covering a golf match,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a basketball game,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or a court hearing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], my casual clothes stay the same. I keep jeans and a couple of shirts off to the side,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as well as a suit and tie. I'll pick colors to go with only two pairs of shoes -- one work and one casual. Why pack a pair of shoes to wear only once? Efficiency is key.
Get to know your home airport
I'm at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport so often that many of the airline crew and TSA agents know me by name. Some delays are unavoidable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but even at the world's busiest airport, I've learned a couple of timesaving secrets.
For example,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Delta's two enclosed lower-level check-in counters at Hartsfield-Jackson have very little traffic, making for one of the quickest places to check in at the airport.
Upon arriving,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I park my car in a short-term lot and quickly check my bags before moving my car to a long-term lot. My luggage is ready early to be taken to the plane while I'm parking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and I can go straight to security without any further delays.
Store a travel account file on your mobile device
I have every airline,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], car rental, and hotel club account number and phone number in a single file on my PDA. This eliminates the need to search through my wallet or shoulder bag at the ticket or rental counter.
Have cash handy
I keep a few dollars in my carry-on bag,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just in case I can't get to an ATM until sometime later. I'm covered if I need to buy food or drinks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or tip a cab driver or bellman.
I got caught without cash when arriving in Detroit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Michigan, for the Ryder Cup in 2004. The driver -- who didn't accept credit cards -- had to wait at the hotel for his tip while I hunted down an ATM. I vowed to never let that happen again.
