leaving on a jet plane

i’m on holiday now, but i do have a bit of time to post, so i’ll share with you some travel tips i jotted down on the plane:

• Fill your water bottle before going to the airport. I carry a nalgene nearly everywhere i go and it’s easy to use on the plane because the flight attendants will fill it for you. but before you arrive, fill it up and drink it before going through security because airplane air is dry and dehydrating.
  
• Wear your heaviest or bulkiest shoes on the plane. It saves space and weight in your suitcase.
  
• In your carry on, only pack a few things you want to do or need to do. I used to overpack and bring a ton of things with which to occupy myself and I would end up using only one or two of them. so now i only bring a book or two and my computer and i’m all set!

i’m taking lots of photos that will be shared here soon! :)
