The Rest Is A Bluuuuuuuuuuur

Cabin Fever

It has taken a week or so for me to fully recover from my small weekend away.... well it was a trip to Amsterdam after all! 


Before I get into the gritty details, I wanted to share my great discovery of the use of the Cabin Luggage. I travel all the time but with this trip there was no need for family size suitcase. A holdall was to small to deal with the mission, so searching for an in-between I was armed with a tape measure aiming for a 56 x 45 x 25cm bag. The question is how much can you get init?


I managed to squeeze a laptop, three shoes and dual outfits per day including underwear. No towel or washing equipment, the trick is buy these after you get through customs so you dont have to disrupt the tightly squeezed luggage. 
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED 

Sweet Mexico

Blu Me AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

Radisson Blu Hotel in Birmingham has to be one of my favourite hotels so far this year... 

A true five star setting with an excellent view but breakfast was a disappointment sad to say.

Business Trip ....? PRT.2

So I left the old laptop bag at pick up my trendy holdall, left the traditional shirt and tie for a slick Zara blazer. Tod loafers (minus the socks), feeling quite spicy heading for Birmingham...

I had to keep on reminding myself that my visit was to sign up some potential clients,  but all that was on my mind was the potential hotty's that I could sign up to visit my hotel room. It felt more than possible with the looks I was receiving for my look. 

I managed to make it to my hotel with over an hour before my meeting in Broad St, giving me enough time to pull my laptop from under the clothes in the holdall. Didnt really explore my room to much, there was plenty of time for that later....

A Business Trip....? PRT.1

They don't have to be so boring, especially if you have some type of control over how it could end!
Why not try and get the best out of it, I've often make a real adventure of it by researching my meeting point as well as the hotels destination.

FIND THE FUN! It can start from the journey up there, but with this appearance is key! LOOK THE PART BE THE PART! You never know who could be on your train or plain? So you would want to look like the approachable friendly gent, whose easy going and into his job with an element of fun... Thats if your single, if not you still got to make the effort.

Before the clothes, how does your travel bag look?
