  2. Greetings from Montana!

    My packing challenge was packing for a business trip to Manhattan and a leisure/outdoor trip to Montana with the same stuff. Made some sacrifices like not having rain gear. 🙁

    Having a super lightweight waterproof rain shell that looks good in a business context seems like something worth having.

    Before joining UpTake, I also was Premier Exec. on United. Now I am nobody. 🙁 So even though I HATE window seats, I find that with all the baggage restrictions and heavily business travel flights, everyone is maxing out overhead bin space. So with the United zoned loading system, I think window seats get preference on the boarding.

    This means that non-status aisle seat people get screwed on overhead bin space.

    Anyway, safe travels and see you in Manhattan on TUE!

  3. Pam,
    Thanks for going over my “to do” list before I leave for Portugal and Spain this week. I’m on board with Elliott Ng’s waterproof shell suggestion. My teal blue REI jacket takes little space in my duffle bag and I love the color!

    Have fun in New York!
