Travel Tips

Guideline for international air travel:

• Bring comfy yoga pants to change into at night.
• Also bring your favorite prescription or nonprescription sleep aid.
• Have a glass of wine in the airport to enhance effects of sleep aid.
• You still won't sleep, because the fat woman behind you will amuse herself for six hours by pushing your seat forward whenever you lean back.
• If you see someone you went to high school with in the airport, hopefully you have had your glass of wine already.
• iPods are a wonderful travel accessory, and prevent unnecessary conversation with neighbors.
• Don't fly USAirways unless you have to because their planes are ghetto.
• Virgin has cool stuff but even less leg room than USAirways.
• Always bring a full overnight bag so you can change in the morning - passport control is bad enough without stinky pits and skanky drawers.
• Also, if flying through Newark, bring clothes for up to three days because Newark is a black hole of flight delays.
• Bring food - they don't feed you anymore.
• Identify common carryon items that could be used to disarm terrorists, e.g. perfume = pepper spray. Look like you are thinking about this so any suspicious characters will know you are crazier than they are.
