Very funny:
"It's that favorite time of year. Summer, when the road warrior, business travel divas deign to disrupt their routine to fly with their families on vacation. You can spot them easily. They'll be the people who are walking about a quarter mile ahead instinctively passing on the left and otherwise artfully sidestepping the aimless people who don't have a plan for getting to the gate"

"The Business Travel Diva's Rules for Family Vacations (Section 1: Pre-Flight Checklist)


1. Under no circumstances will luggage be checked. Doing so abdicates all control of the trip to the airlines. If it can't fit in a standard size roll aboard and one (that means one people) small carryon bag, it's not going.

2. When dressing for the airport, all parties must wear slip on shoes. Lace-up shoes are not allowed as they will slow us down moving through security. Socks are recommended. Yes, they look stupid with sandals, but you'll be glad you have them on when you consider walking barefoot in an airport.
