Survival Kit for Traveling Adults
December 31, 2008 | Permalink
In an earlier blog, Road Warrior described what to include in a travel “survival kit” for children. With the new year just a day away, hints on items to make air travel easier for adults are in order.
Noise seems to multiply during travel, as does its ability to annoy us. To help shut out unwanted noise, consider packing earplugs in your carry-on items. Some fellow road warriors, usually those who favor high-tech gadgets, listen to what is called “white noise” on their IPod or MP3 player. Check Google for sites with downloadable “white noise” files.
Here are some other items for your travel survival kit. Eyeshades are great if you nap on the plane. Don’t count on the airline for entertainment; bring along a good book, a puzzle book, DVD player or music player. Also, don't forget that using electronic gadgets means you may need to pack extra batteries. If you are traveling with a friend, bring games or cards.
Be sure that your cell phone is fully charged and, given the potential for lost or broken phones, pack a backup calling card. Of course, unlimited local calls and personalized voicemail are always free at any of the nearly 700 Extended Stay Hotels nationwide and in Canada. Two other items that you should never do without on travels of any length are a small flashlight and some extra cash.
Plan ahead and make your next business or vacation trip a real pleasure.
