OK – last big weekend to officially travel before school kicks in for real, football season starts, and everyone gets serious about their day-to-day schedule!

I’ve adopted one travel tip I heard last year, and highly recommend it to you: Pack your cell phone charger in your carry-on bag.  It sounds overly simplistic, but it could be a life-saver if a flight is delayed or cancelled.  Having easy access to your charger to juice up your phone could mean the difference between making the next flight out (and checking in online) or staying the night after unsuccessfully racing from one ticket desk to another.

Thanking you in advance for turning your phone off when the flight attendants ask you to…
