When I travel, I gotta sleep. There’s no way around it. No matter how many things I want to see, no matter what I want to do, if I don’t get plenty of sleep every single night I might as well stay home. So I think about sleeping when I plan my trips. When? For [...]

Last week, my husband and I went and spent a night in the charming little seaside town of Half Moon Bay, California at the ocean-front Cypress Inn. This little vacation is exactly the kind of trip I think is perfect for chronic pain patients who haven’t done a lot of traveling with their pain yet, [...]

A couple of friends of mine just got back from a whirlwind trip to England. On their way home from scenic York, they had to spend one night in London before their flight left from Heathrow Airport. Rather than staying in one of the off-site airport motels, they booked a 12-hour stay for 90 pounds. [...]

I enjoyed this article that provides hotels with information about how they can make their facilities friendly to guests with autism spectrum disorders: Working Towards a New Kind of Friendly And of course, the Autistic Globetrotter is a friend of Travels With Pain. I’d love to stay at the Wyndham Tampa Westshore Hotel some time, [...]

I had a nice long chat with the Director of Something (communications? marketing?) of the Tempur-Pedic(r) brand at BlogHer 2011. Partly I did this so that I could spend a good half-hour lying on the vibrating ergo-adjustable bed they had out on display. YUM! We’d all feel better if we slept on beds and mattresses [...]

I just got back from the Best Honeymoon Ever! It’s possible that I may be prejudiced…really, every newlywed should think her or his honeymoon is the Best. But how did I create the Best Honeymoon Ever, with pain? 1. I got my spouse-to-be into the honeymoon with pain planning process. Because my sweetie and I [...]

I got married last weekend! Despite building up to a massive stress flare in the two weeks before the wedding, I had a wonderful and pain-minimal Big Day. After experiencing it, I can safely say that a destination wedding worked out nicely for me as a traveler with pain on a limited but not miniscule [...]

After two really good sessions about professional blogging and brand communications on Saturday at BlogHer 2011, the conference ended for me. To put myself out there, approaching strangers with a smile and a conversational gambit, takes energy. I knew nobody at BlogHer, so I had to do this about every 5 minutes, for hours at [...]
