Mind Saving Monday

Looking for an easy way to keep the lids on you lotion or shampoo from exploding open on a plane?  Get a package of small balloons.  Simply stretch a balloon over the entire lid of the bottle.  The balloon should be a pretty tight fit.  Then put all of your bottles in a zip lock bag.  If the bottle top leaks you can easily squeeze the contents back into the bottle from the balloon with no mess.

Are you afraid of being stuck on the tarmac for 12 hours?  Especially with winter blizzards it is not uncommon to be sitting for longer than we want.  Here is a list of my favorite things I like to pack in a lunch bag to snack on in the plane (also great for sitting in the airport too):
  1. My favorite homemade trail mix
  2. My favorite granola mix
  3. A few oranges or apples – fruits with a hard skin and long shelf life
  4. Crystal Light or Instant Tea mixes
  5. Cheese and crackers or peanut butter with crackers
  6. Fruit snacks
  7. A few pieces of bread and peanut butter

I also take an empty water bottle with me to the airport and once I’m through security I fill the bottle up at a restaurant or water fountain.  That way I know that I will have plenty of water on the flight.

Don’t forget a good book or a few movies downloaded to an iPod to help pass the time away.
