ORIGINAL: LadyRainfire Yes, holly, THE ticket. One way out to Lumus. On the 4th of July. Talk about ironies..... yeah....one can only imagine the fireworks and...uh...rockets red glare *snorts and chokes on her tea before laughing* Ummmm, I was thinking of the irony of leaving the country on our Independence Day and also giving up (most willingly and happily!) of my independence on that day! As for fireworks and rockets, errrr, ya, that will be later that night. Maybe. It will be an all day flight for me - I have to be up and out of my house at 430 am to get to the airport in time for the flight then I spend the day flying across the country. I won't get in until sometime between 7-8 pm so I know I'm going to look like death warmed over and be exhausted to boot... *sighs* Oh well - it's all worth it! my suggestion for the flight: take a small cloth with you in your carry on. ask the attendants for a cup of cold water, soak the cloth and use it like a compress on your eyes (until the last hour of the flight, then do any makeup adjustments you want, assuming you'll be wearing the stuff). Stay away from alcoholic/caffeinated beverages, but definitely keep hydrated. Nap, if you can. DRESS COMFY (and for godssake, make sure your shoes are easy to remove, for the security lines). Make sure your passport is easily accesible. If you're in to it, carry a small sachet type thing with a soothing scent (lavender works for me) for the flight. Earplugs (if theres a screaming child on flights I've noticed it tends to irritate me no end which in turn affects my attitude overall). GO TO BED EARLY the night before. Make sure EVERYTHING is packed except what you need for the morning, and have the last minute stuff ready to go. DOUBLE check that your carry on stuff (fluids gels etc) are all compliant with TSA regs. If you take any small electrical device (iPod and such).. do NOT put it in the seatback pocket (reference my post about the delay in ATL..LMAO!!). I'm sure you know all of this, but if youre floating all happy and stuff, some of it may slip your mind.. (it was my mom that reminded me of half of it, before I left..thank god she did!! LOLOL)
