- How many trips have you taken so far this year?
A whopping 28 in total! And I counted close to 70 hotel nights away. - Fave destination?
Absolutely Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. I definitely stood out. I stayed in a luxury hotel (Caravelle Saigon) and had amazing meals and experiences. The flight was long and challenging, but this fun, authentic city with incredible people is worth the trip! - Biggest travel disaster?
That’s easy. Hot, hot, hot rooms. I seem to be cursed with horrible air conditioning. At the Santa Fe Hilton, I slept all night with a gross white standing fan next to my bed. And I was exhausted the next day. - With that much travel, you must be a packing champ. Tips?
I use my phone’s note section to plan and check off items. Then I double- and triple-check. I always pack a bathing suit. You never know when your flight will be diverted somewhere with a beautiful pool or spa. - Where would you go anywhere in the world right now?
Arizona is 115 degrees at the moment, so I’d go back to the Swiss Alps and Lucerne on the lake. Fun adventures during daytime would make working at my desk through the night seem worth it!
