By the time this post goes up, I will already be home, and well on my way out again. I have an eventful holiday coming up, but it's all fun stuff, so it's all good. Still, as I'm writing this, I am about 5 hours away from waking up for my ride to the airport at the crack of dawn, and so obviously this makes a great time to share my traveling tips. Since I go to school about halfway across the country from my home (over 1,000 miles!), I only drive home for the summer: I fly for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring break. In fact, until last year (when I brought my car to school), I flew for every holiday. Suffice to say, I have flown a lot in the last three and a half years.
When I fly, I always make sure to have a few things with me, in my carry-on bags (I love that you can take two bags - it gives me room for all the odds and ends I forgot to pack in my suitcase).

- Laptop computer and charger - because suitcases get roughed up, and I need my laptop to stay safe. Also, it's great for watching movies. Which brings me to...
- Movie - I like to rent one from iTunes, so that it will be new and interesting. This trip, it's Evening.
- A book for pleasure - unless I have urgent homework, in which case I do homework instead.
- A jacket - because planes tend to be cool.
- Hand sanitizer and gum - to keep clean and fresh.
- A water bottle, lip balm, and lotion - to stay hydrated, because airplane air is very dry.
- Headphones - for the movie.
- A notebook and pen - in case inspiration strikes.
