Re: Stuck on Runway AGAIN

Air travel can be so painful.
If you're traveling for fun, delays aren't so bad, bc you're (well, I should say, "I") happy to be going wherever it is.
But if it's for work... that is just torture!
I hope you at least had a good seat, and not the back row that doesn't recline. I sat on a runway for almost 3 hours in that seat one time.

Re: Why Isn't Clothing More Practical?

Oh dear. Where do I start. Um... tan is better than green. Green you'd look like army. However, tan you'll look like a fisherman.

Actually, the list of items that you need to have handy makes me think that what you really need is a purse. Essentially, with this vest, you'd be wearing a purse.
My husband always acts AMAZED that I'd POSSIBLY need a big purse to carry around, but YOU, Chris, are a man with sense!

Re: How Do You Sleep (on a plane?)

My system is very close to yours, but IF you get the window seat, add two things:
--a sweatshirt to serve as a pillow and
--another blanket or sweatshirt between your knee and the wall.
I added those 2 to your system and got a nice 4 hours of sleep to and from Brazil. A little sleeping meds are also nice on a longer trip.

I laughed when I saw your title, bc when I got home from that trip I told people about my special system too. Oh, but I use earplugs and not headphones!
