How to Get Some Sleep on a Plane

**************************************************




We will be on an 8(+/-) hour "red eye" flight from Newark Airport - departing at 7:15pm on May 22 and arriving in Barcelona, Spain at 9:15 am. on May 23rd. To make the best of this long journey, a few "creature comforts" can go a L-O-N-G way! Comfortable clothes, socks/slippers, small pillow, snacks, toothbrush/gum/mints, ear plugs, sleep mask, music, just to name a few. What items do YOU plan on packing in your carry on bag to make the trans-Atlantic flight an enjoyable one?...will you be able to sleep?...Please share your comments below. The following video has some good tips while other tips are just plain silly...I mean, who has room to pack a "body pillow"!






*Disclaimer: Dear brother, Mike...hope you are not offended by the opening image...but I couldn't resist after Mom told me about your business trip...you being exhausted, dozing off on the flight back, and the woman next to you poking you and saying, "Sir, SIR! I am not going to listen to THAT the whole flight!...made me laugh!

41 MORE DAYS!!!


Cruise along and enjoy...^_~

  1. P.S. - Don’t flush the toilet while sitting on it unless you are wearing a parachute.

  2. A lifetime ago, I either traveled weekly to Dallas or to San Fran and I had mastered the art of sleeping on the plane. BUT I was not on my way to Europe! No sure I'll be able to sleep at all.

  3. Sleep? Who has time for sleep? I will be reading 'World Without End' by Ken Follett. Well, listening to it on audiobook at least! (no offense taken...)

  4. Don't worry, I'll sit/sleep next to Mike. I'll be able to sleep if he snores. Not sure about the person in front of him:)

    Actually it could be kind of funny to see a whole row of us snoring.

  5. Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble
    with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard
    work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?

  7. Hi! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard
    against hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
    Any tips?
