How to Pack a Good Carry-On

What I’ll be bringing on the plane tomorrow, besides my laptop:

Snack bags.  We'll be on the plane all afternoon and evening, and I don't want a hungry boyfriend.  Apple muffins + oatmeal chocolate chip cookies = yummy snacks!

What am I forgetting, folks? Any suggestions?

  • Ooh, the cookies look yummy.

    I think you’re pretty well set, that is unless you want to bring little bottles of booze so you don’t have to pay for it. :-)

    Or maybe a blanket/pillow. When I was flying last month they took them all off the place due to swine flu freakouts.

    Ditto the little booze bottles! Although, I don’t think you’ll be able to get those on the plane. *tear*

    Is that Jodi Piccoult’s book Perfect Match? If it is, that’s pretty good one. Have a good trip!

  • Might I suggest an empty water bottle that you can fill up at the water fountain but security check? and a pari fo slipper socks….if you travel in flip flops like I do, you might need them to keep your feet warm on the plane when they crank the air down.

  • The apple muffins look so delicious, especially when paired with The Real Housewives of NJ tabloid gossip.
