Traveling for Work

Does someone have a template/checklist they use when traveling?

It's a new fiscal year and I'd like to start on the right foot for a change. Usually I cram a sticky with flight information, a sticky with hotel information, a sticky with weather, maybe a downloaded map or two and my travel orders into my organizer. It gets the job done, albeit poorly: I always feel like I've forgotten something vital before I even get to the airport.

At a former employment locale, I can remember the Executive Assistants ginning up a one-pager for the Executives with all their pertinent travel data. Sadly, I wasn't an Executive, so I don't have a copy.

Lacking a set template (which I'm happy to create), what do you consider essential travel information?

Regards,

Mike Greene

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
