*** SHOW NOTES *** Recorded, again, in the beautiful home office of Chateau’ Relaxo. Tonight we’re speaking with fellow road warrior Jon Strong from Utah. Jon’s spent close to 20 years on the road and we talk about his adjustments when it comes to working from home. In additionRead More →
Last week was an extended week in Vegas, 4 nights in the MGM and one night at the Rio. A big difference between the two hotels and it wasn’t only the price. At the MGM I was greeted by everyone, from bellhop to security. At the Rio I not onlyRead More →
Dumb stuff, we all do it and there’s no better place to display it than at the airport. For most, the airport isn’t anyone’s natural habitat. You’ll come across more strangers than friends, you’ll be subjected to rules that you didn’t make and oh yeah, plan on waiting in line…..Read More →
In this day and age, the world runs on connectivity. How often do we open a phone book? Do you still own an encyclopedia? At Chateau’ Relaxo those answers are “never” and “no”. I’m dependent on my smartphone, it’s my concierge, my travel agent, and my entertainment coordinator….aka…. my informationRead More →
First, I am not one of you, I’m not part of your “Airline Nerd” group. I don’t speak airport or airplane lingo, I’m not one of you! There are two airplanes that I can identify by sight. They are a 747 and the Concorde, both of which no longer flyRead More →
One of my regular reads is Lifehacker and I enjoy their “This Is How I Work” series. They ask work-related questions of pseudo-important people and in turn, they answer them. So, here’s my take on This Is How I Work Location: Apopka, FL at least a few nights each weekRead More →

Last week was a giant cup of suck. Another mass shooting, another random act of violence, another “Fill In The Blank“. When does this stop, better yet how do we make it stop? When traveling I don’t feel that my safety is the least bit threatened. Possibly I was blessed withRead More →
Living in Florida most of us have a box of hurricane supplies, batteries, flashlights & radios. When the alert gets broadcasted we supplement that with bottled water, pantry staples and gas for the generator. From June to October we know the drill. Depending on your point of view (and theRead More →
That collective sigh you hear is from teachers, summer has arrived. For many, summer travel season has begun. I spent the last six Monday’s through Friday’s on the road so I decided to take a Staycation last week. Here are a few travel tips and some activities that might helpRead More →
With the interwebs ranting about @realDonaldTrump and his recent executive order I figured the world could survive without me weighing in on it. Regardless of my political affiliation, I’d be pissed if I couldn’t get back into the country since I’m a citizen. Hell I get pissed if my flightsRead More →
Resolutions, it’s the season; both House Calls and Running From Insanity gave us their respective takes earlier this month. Therefore, I’m here late January, a week after most of the resolutioners have abandoned their Couch to 5k program offering up some travel resolutions that you can pull off any time of theRead More →
A few months ago, I wrote about the dangerous disaster that I-4 provides to the safe driver. My closing paragraph referenced EverDrive, an app that passively monitors driving habits and delivers diagnostics for later review. At that time I installed and configured EverDrive, but forgot all about it until tonightRead More →
As each year ends, my routine is to take an inventory of my life and the goals I set for the previous year and then get ready for the approaching year. One of my goals this past year was to live more in the moment, to be present in whatRead More →
