Business Trips and “Me” Time

by Carly Allen

Oct 2, 2018

As frequent travelers, we often rush about our trips with breakfast meetings, regular meetings, dinner meetings, tight flight schedules and everything that life throws at us, but lately, I have tried to be a bit more careful with my trips to make sure I have a day in whichever city I am in to explore or have some “me” time. It’s important to slow down and enjoy the amazing job and interesting stories I have to share.

One of my favorite things to do in a city, besides eating, is to visit museums or libraries, somewhere that shares the culture and history of a city or country that you might not ever see again. I am planning my annual Asia trip for business and what will be my 10th trip to Seoul, South Korea. It’s safe to say I have been to many of the palaces and museums and even the DMZ, but this time I was referred to the furniture museum, a collection of Korean history told by tables, chairs and the like. I am beyond excited!

A few of my favorite pieces of art and experiences from my travels include the Frick in New York, the Broad in Los Angeles, Barnes Museum in Philadelphia, National Museum in Singapore and NASA in Houston. My other suggestions are the history museum in Mexico City, Palace Museum in Taipei and Pearl Harbor in Honolulu.

What is the most memorable museum you have seen?

Versatile and Vibrant, Modern Asti Spumante Is Not the Simple Party Fizz of the Past

I recall attending a New Year’s Eve party in my early 20s during which our host walked around at midnight filling guests’ flutes with celebratory toasts of “Champagne” or Asti Spumante. Now, the former wasn’t actually Champagne, just a cheaply made domestic Brut more suited to the budgets of people just entering the workforce. But those of us who liked our bubbly on the drier side preferred it to what we viewed as a sweet, simple Italian quaffer.

Review: Casa Gangotena

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: Facing one side of San Francisco Plaza in Quito’s Old Town, you’d be forgiven if you, at first, mistook the hotel for a palatial residence or estate, where the fourth or perhaps fifth generation of a family resides. Casa Gangotena, a Relais & Châteaux property, was, in fact, a home for many, built in the 17th century and later home to several presidents. The entrance reminds you you’re on very special grounds, from crown molding ceilings to opulent chandeliers to velvet couches, and staff guided me to check-in, beginning my very own regal stay.
