Travel Challenges in the Life of an Insurance Diva

I have been travelling for work lately which in theory sounds fantabulous. Don't get me wrong, it's great, however, there are some challenges I've faced over the past few days:


  • Watching four episodes of Modern Family on an airplane without laughing out loud...or snorting when I laugh. One of the most difficult things EVER.

  • Not understanding what they mean at the front desk when they tell me the room I reserved with the king bed is not available because the hotel is fully booked? Do I need to show them the Sienfeld episode about what a reservation means????

  • Getting out of the back of the elevator with all my luggage when there's 6 other people in front of me who don't seem to understand they have to move so I can get out.

  • Trying to open the plastic wrap on the soap in my hotel bathroom...who makes this indestructible plastic material and what goes on in their head? Is this some sort of national security issue? Do they really think some crazy person is going to tamper with these little soap bars???? And why is all the weight lifting I've been doing for the past twenty years not giving me the strength to open this?


  • Trying for the life of me to understand how the hotel room coffee can taste so bad. Once again, we can put people into space but we can't have decent coffee in a hotel room???

  • Trying to understand why I continue to drink the hotel room coffee.

  • Trying to understand why I'm frequently chosen for a full body search at airport security. Do I really look that threatening? Are they reading my blog?

  • Getting the roll of toilet paper to actually roll at some public washrooms so I have enough to use. Note: I am a diva, therefore, toilet paper is essential to me.
