Blog Challenge: 12/25 - Prepare for Air

I don't travel much, but when I do I like it to be as pleasant as possible. Some things are stacked against me: airplane seats were not designed with someone my height in mind, and I can't sleep just anywhere. I've got a transatlantic flight coming up, and here are the preparations

-Some really good reading material. I like to save up a book or two that I've really been looking forward to. For this trip I'll be reading The Watchmen.

-Good tunes. In the era of digital music players this is easier than ever. Sadly my headphones are always breaking so I'll need to go out and invest in some good ones.

-Logic Puzzles. For some reason I really enjoy logic puzzles and sudoku on planes. You can get magazines with puzzles in them at most airports, but then tend to suck. Better to pick up an issue that suites your tastes from somewhere with a better selection ahead of time.

-Something sweet to snack on. Gummy whatever's for preference. Even better if they're sour.

-Something salty to snack on. Variety is the spice of life.

-Extra layers of clothes. Not because I get cold on planes, but to use as padding for when my wife inevitably passes out on my bony shoulder.

-Sedatives. Sometimes the old sleep schedule needs to be coerced.
