The Great Escape
I don’t travel much. But when I do skip town for a break, I just want to relax on my own terms.
The Barber Shave
On a recent trip to London, I had my first straight razor shave from a barber. It was fantastic.
The Stress of Air Travel
A day or so before I fly anywhere, I start to get anxious about packing (enough or too much), leaving the dogs, getting to the airport on time, going through security, flying, etc.
The TWA Hotel Experience
I don’t travel much. The main reason I don’t is that I hate being away from my dogs. But when I do travel, I’m a sucker for a good hotel.
Episode 44: A First Suit, My Morning Ritual & Those Damn Parking Lots
I jumped back onto the saddle this week after a brief but fantastic trip to Palm Beach, Florida last weekend. I have a client down there who showed me the ropes in their little universe both in Palm Beach and in the charming town of Lake Worth.
Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag
After a long ride with my old roller bag, I just upgraded to "The Bigger Carry-On" from Away.
Gorgeous Travel Kits from General Knot & Co.
I’ve raved about the exquisite ties and pocket linen from General Knot & Co. here and on social media, but I’ve never mentioned their travel kits.

Once a particular pattern/fabric is sold out, it’s gone, making these kits (and their neckwear and hankies) truly unique.
Smart New Carry-On Luggage from Away
My luggage sucks. Thanks to another smart entry in the straight-to-consumer disruptor game, it’s about to get a long overdue upgrade.
Away is a slick, simple and brand new carry-on luggage option with quality and features that rival others on the luxury spectrum but at a fraction of the cost.
The Perfect Getaway Duffel by Owen & Fred
One of the keys to the perfect weekend getaway is the perfect bag. My friends at Owen & Fred have a very smart collection of duffel bags that fit the bill, coming in several color and material combinations to accommodate any taste.
Traveling Lighter with Logitech’s Ultrathin iPad Keyboard Cover
Last year, I gave up traveling with a laptop, slimming down to my iPad 2 when I was away from HQ. My setup was a fabulous easel-like iPad stand from Twelve South and an Apple Wireless Keyboard. It was a pretty efficient and lightweight kit that, despite its multiple pieces, was more versatile than a MacBook Air, since I could use the iPad to read magazines, newspapers and books as well as write.
