SURVIVING HOLIDAY TRAVEL, PART 1: On-the-Road Strategies

Much of the stress and strain of holiday travel—whether you’re headed out for business, pleasure, or a bit of both—is self-imposed. Here are some strategies and suggestions to help you thrive—as well as survive—no matter where the road takes you this month.

In a season known more for self-indulgence than self-restraint, it’s time for a good dose of self-care. Here’s my take on what you can do to fully enjoy yourself—at home and on the go—during the holidays.

Charity begins at home. So don't overlook local charitable organizations that need a donation of your time, dollars, apparel, household items, or food to help others enjoy the season. And if you really want to make a difference for many, consider a donation to a health/medical organization or association that funds research and provides consumer education and resources.

Want others to share the rewards of your travels? Donate your miles (via your airlines FF program or at MileDonor.com) to individuals, charities, or America's military.

Whether you're cozy and comfy at home or cramped and crunched (sigh) in an airplane, bus, or railroad seat, here are my suggestions for entertaining, thought-provoking, and absorbing books and DVDs.
