Traveling Business classy

Be Business Ready!

Yeah today I’m afraid it’s Tuesday, it’s the last day of August and it’s back to business after a summer of slacking. So why not make it fun?

How, you ask? Well do you remember that smell of new school gear? Ok am I really the only loser who loved breaking-out the new pens? Or finding the best binder? What about making sure you had the right lunch box?

Come on. You know you remember. So what’s fun for adults? What have they got to entice them back to work? How about a lovely leather bag? No fear The Harbourmaster’s Sheilagh Robertson is here with her Travel Tip for Tuesday and some beautiful business accessories to help get you back into the office or off the island.

She said: “Traveling on an important business trip? Many women today are looking for business cases that are fashionable and can serve as a handbag as well.” Here are a few options before.

Lovely, red, leather, rolling Jack George's bag to fit your computer and files with fashion for $455

“At the Harbourmaster there are handbags that are perfect for carrying the new smaller “net book” computers as well as wheeled briefcases that allow one to travel with all the paperwork without straining the shoulders.”

Handy handbag/briefcase with space for computer: $365

You need something smaller? Something to carry your notes for a meeting in style? How about a organizer with a beautiful leather finish? Why be boring when you can be bright and beautiful with the red organizer below?

And of course you have to visit The Harbourmaster on the first floor of the Washington Mall near the Washington Alley, Hamilton Bermuda for more options!

Save your…..

Shoes in the New Delhi Market Area

things! Or so I wanted to say to the backpacked-tourist in New Delhi, India. It was busy. We could barely move. I looked to the left and I saw…..

His backpack being opened (while on his back) and someone who should not be sticking their hand in, sticking their hand in.

“Hey, Hey!” and I pointed to my back. He turned around and the would-be thief ran away. That was a lucky catch, but sometimes travelers are not so lucky.

Things get stolen. Things get lost. But have no fear! Wire-strapped bags and other valuable-carrying security devices are available here in Bermuda.

Where? The Harbourmaster. What has Sheilagh Robertson, owner of The Harbourmaster, have to say? Here is here Travel Tip Tuesday: Secure, Secure, Secure.

She said: “Take special care to secure passports money and credit cards when traveling. It is a good idea to make a photocopy of your passport and keep one credit card and some cash somewhere other than in your handbag or wallet.”

“At the Harbourmaster there is a large selection of security items such as money belts, waist and neck pouches, locks, luggage tags and bags with anti-theft features.”

Some of those are featured in the slideshow above and are all available in The Harbourmaster located in the Washington Mall near the alley entrance.

Mrs. Robertson added: “Always be particularly careful in crowded areas around popular historic sites, subways, and train stations.

“Pickpockets are common in these areas and will often target people on group tours who think they are safe in a group and not always aware of their surroundings.”

So be aware, stock-up on your goods to secure your valuables and enjoy your holidays! Come back next Tuesday for more Harbourmaster tips.
