orange pouch goes traveling
Okay, in the travel vein, here is part two of the confessions of a traveler who thinks a lot about “just in case” scenarios. I have a orange mesh pouch that is the shape of a business sized envelope but about 20% larger, purchased at one of my favorite places of all time, the Container Store (she says while viewing one of the most gorgeous sites ever in the Canadian Rockies!). This pouch is ready to go for any trip and contains the things that I need (or might need — you know, just in case) while in-flight only. When I get on the plane, I pull it out of my purse and stuff it into the seat pocket in front of me and pull from it the things I need as I need them. Inside the pouch are the following: a handkerchief (that belonged to my grandmother); a compression sleeve (that I have to wear on my left arm during flights); a pair of reading glasses; a pen; ear plugs; eyeshades; a blowup neck pillow; a pair of thin wool socks; “No Jet-Lag Homeopathic” tablets; mini toothbrush and toothpaste (essential for long flights); a few cough lozenges; a tiny Advil packet; iPod. There you have it. What else could a girl need?
