How did I not know about those minimergency kits?! DEODORANT TOWELETTE. What.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by the Batiste dry shampoo (Tresemme's is truly terrible). I got a really big kick out of reading the ingredients in Pssssssst's dry shampoo, though: Butane, Propane, SD Alcohol 40-B, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Isobutane, Cyclomethicone, Fragrance. You know... Fragrance. To cover the butane & propane smell.
Sorry for hitting you in the butt with a newspaper. I was just bloated from all the Diet Coke I had on my previous flight.
Hi Fran. When the kids and I used to fly more I had tons of flying tricks. I could get all four of us through the security before the single person in the next lane. I doubt much of my tips are good for you though... wipies keep toddlers happy for a loooong time, pull over zip neck sweat shirts aren't considered coats so they don't have to be removed to go through security, milk/juice in sippy cups is allowed through security, keep your child strapped in the belt no matter what, as soon as they're out they'll never go back quietly. I'll stop there. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying following your travels!! ~Krissy Livingston
Two things I always used when traveling for work were chapstick and nasal saline spray. A girl has to keep those lips moisturized and airways flowing. The nasal spray prevented sinus infections, which I was prone to with the dry air in the hotels and on the airplane. Oh, and make that three things. Hand lotion, because I washed my hands a lot. Can you see a theme here? Scarfs were a handy item, serving as a soft pillow covering or something to go between my face and the window so I could sleep. And since we're still on the subject, I always brought a pair of socks to wear through the security line after catching something barefoot walking through that shall go unnamed.
ReplyDeleteCailyn: Your Diet Coke comment made me laugh out loud. And now you have me rethinking Pssssst. Which I already don't like that much, just because I feel stupid whenever I try to tell someone the name of it. So sue me, I like saying words THAT HAVE VOWELS IN THEM. And yes, Tresemme's is awful. It's glorified hairspray!
ReplyDeleteKrissy! Those are awesome tips. I will definitely need them for the future. I keep hearing that TSA is going to do away with removing shoes (and maybe) even liquid restrictions? Who even knows. I had no idea about the sippy cups or the zip up hoodies! I'm a fool and when I'm not in uniform I always dress with a cardigan and scarf and then feel practically indecent once I have to take all of it off just to walk through. Is your blog still invitation only? I want to read it!
ReplyDeleteRenee: Ahhhh! Nasal spray! I keep some in my bag from the last time my allergies were bad, but I didn't think to use it as a preventative measure. And I definitely need to, because the international flights make my nose hurt because it feels like my whole body is drying up. I am also a chapstickaholic. And you caught something through security? I didn't even think of that. I am practically barefoot since I am wearing pantyhose when I walk through. I just flew with a guy that caught some sort of bacteria from eating the ice on the plane. Ew.
