A Tool for the Forgetful Business Traveler

Even if you have a mind like a steel trap, there’s something about business travel that turns your brains to mush. I have many stories that prove this.

Once at Hartsfield-Jackson, I left my wheelie bag in the overhead bin as I dashed to make my connection, only to remember halfway down the terminal walkway that I needed my clothes. Another time, I left my credit card at the bagel shop and would have lost it altogether were it not for a kindly employee who called Delta, found out what flight I was on, and hand-delivered it to the gate agent for me. (By the way, the bagel shop in question is in the Delta terminal at SeaTac airport and makes an excellent Lox and Schmear.)

Considering how forgetful I become when traveling, I was excited to read in Gear Live about this handy little credit card holder that yells at you when you’ve forgotten to put your card back in your wallet.
