hi from the sky! I’m on my way to Boston and trying to get the most out of the $$$ plane internet. It is freaking expensive!! But, I also am so very productive on flights because I have nothing else to do besides work.
I flew out of LAX so it was a busy morning of battling traffic and vehicle parking and all that jazz. I just realized that even though I travel a lot I’ve never driven myself to LAX. I’ve driven/parked at the OC airport and long beach so I know the drill there, but this was a little bit of a new adventure on that end.

Fun Monican fact: I have much more energy than any one person should. (See: always running and eating and dancing around in public like a weirdo.)
So that implies I get very antsy on flights.
It is really really hard for me to sit still through a film let alone a 5 hour cross country plane ride! But, I have done dozens of long flights between traveling to the east coast for races and Ben being from FL and my only pal living in Boston.
Tips for Beating Boredom on long Flights
1. reading materials. Bring something good to read. I ‘save’ good books or magazines for traveling. short trashy magazines don’t last long. Today I have a novel with me and a few running magazines.
2. Electronics. Make sure your electronics are fully charged. I also travel with an extra battery!
3. FOOD. Snacks! traveling makes me hungry. I don’t know if it’s out of boredom or what, but I just feel snacky.
I try to pack plenty of easy to eat foods like grapes, string cheese, cereal in a baggie, trail mix… and then when I pull them out of my bag I yell, “SNACKS ON A PLANE!!!”
4. get comfy. If you are Californian like this Monican you are likely traveling in sandals. Planes can be cold so I always pack a pair of socks in my carry on and a sweater.
I also objective to travel Camiseta Fluminense in comfy clothes that don’t make me look like I just rolled out of bed. This typically implies leggings, a soft tank top and sweater or long sleeve top. I’m actually not wearing sandals today because I won’t need them in Boston but am sporting my Sanuk slip-ons.
5. Red eye flights… for red eye flights I full on come equipped with a neck pillow (I actually lost mine in China and want this very cute polka dot one), eye mask, ear plugs and a comfy Camiseta Manchester United hoodie.
I have been told “you’re prepared!!” on an overnight flight before. yes I am.
6. healthy helpers. Water bottle – flights are dehydrating with all that recycled dry air. Emergen-c! speaking of recycled air… germs. I try to get in some extra Vitamin C through a supplement or OJ.
