I just had a packing fiasco. I was about to leave for a week's vacation and spent the day tidying up loose ends, figuring I'd pack in the evening. A friend seduced me out to dinner, and we stayed up late. The ride to the airport arrived early the next morning while I was in a mad scramble, grabbing whatever I thought I might need. I packed too much, and worse, I was unhappy with what I brought.

Packing is my favorite thing I hate to do, and I'm considered an expert. My goal is to take the minimum amount of clothing to wear in the maximum number of ways. When I flew to Seoul for a two-week trip with just a carry-on suitcase, I was astonished and my co-workers even more...

Packing the right clothes is like having the perfect travel companion: You feel great with them, they're versatile, and they don't hold you back. The packing process also helps me take a fresh look at my wardrobe; I discover different ways of combining the pieces I have.

I start by making a chart on a piece of paper. Down the left side of the page I list the days I'll be away. Across the top, I mark three columns: AM, PM, Extra. This helps me visualize what events I need to dress for. Next, I put together one head-to-toe look I feel great in and build from there.

Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, it is easy to justify a greasy meal and missed gym session. So here is a list of tips to help you preserve your fitness regimen and health plan while you are jetting around to new cities.

Drink before you get thirsty.
When you fly, you become dehydrated much faster than when you are on the ground. Aim to drink 235ml of water every 30 minutes during a flight. This will also protect you from germs and viruses in your cabin.

Call ahead for healthier menu options.
Sure, you can wait and order what they offer once you are in the air, but you can also call ahead and specify low or no-sodium and low-fat meals when you make your flight reservation. Don’t feel bad just like some people have allergies or medical conditions, yours is preventive.
