Going into a cave to escape isn’t the answer, though.

Happy Holidays!

I travel far to try and find a full-serve station, but they are becoming extinct.

I use this all the time on my calendar and my boss's calendar, and it helps us both to know which events are phone calls which he can take in the office or on the road (yellow) or which events will require travel (blue). I put travel in red and action reminders in yellow, but that is our own system and it works for us.
