I love your thoughts about giving yourself the proper time to prepare before you train and to give yourself time after the training to recharge your batteries! Also, kudos to you for living in the moment and seeing the sights when visiting a city! Safe travels! Hello Joyce,

I'm in the 2nd week of an 8 week travel, back and forth between Montreal and Toronto. You have some great advice, some of which I've already followed, others I will be sure to do. I've been able to request the hotel get me a room with a refrigerator, and I've bought myself some fruit and yogourt to snack on. I find the food situation the biggest challenge, as I have to eat in restaurants 3 times a day, 5 days a week. It's difficult to stay healthy. But with the fridge, it gives me a few options. Also, this hotel has a gym and a pool, and I take advantage of it. Thanks How appropriate! I’m in the 2nd week of an 8 week travel, back and forth between Montreal and Toronto.

I wish this list was available when I first became a trainer! Adjusting to business travel -- usually alone -- was one of the most difficult things to accomplish when I started training. Like Vince, I take at least one good book with me to pass the time. I always plan to travel a full day prior to my training schedule and include one full day after. This gives me time to relax and enjoy the local sights. After all, I may never be in that city again. Thanks for the tips. Thanks Lynne. I wish this list was available when I first became a trainer!

I just recently returned home from an overnight flight from Seattle. After a long week of training, I decided to push the button to recline my airplane seat so that I could sleep. Immediately upon doing so an impolite lady sitting behind me literally wacked my arm and exclaimed, "Could you put your seat back up, my seat (she was sitting in the last row) cannot recline so your seat is in my lap!" Needless to say, I was in a quandry...do I argue with her about my right to push my seat back if I want to and risk chaos in the skies or do I just appease her and move my seat back up!" Well, being the non-confrontational person that I am, I just put my seat back up and spent the entire flight home being steamed! My next blog should be about how to survive impolite airline passengers! What do you think? Hello Vince,

Leaving enough extra time is very good advice, travel is always prone to unexpected events. I just bring a good book and it helps me pass the time in a enjoyable manner. Paying cash is also a good tip, especially when you are not to sure about the person you would be handing your credit card information over to. Hey Lynne, this top ten list is fantastic.
