Looking back on my own childhood I can still remember some of my all time favorite summer time activities.

Recently, I’ve been doing quite a bit of business traveling. I stay in hotels, eat out a lot, and generally seem to live out of suitcase. While some people may be pros at this, most of us are rookies and can fall into traps we wouldn’t usually fall into … if we were home.
