It's the Holidays which means Holiday Travel! As a parent, Holiday Travel is something I dread! This year don't let Holiday Travel get you down with these holiday travel tips and helpful travel products!
Tip #1: Don’t Dress UP for the airport –Dress DOWN!
Save time at security checkpoints by avoiding lace-up shoes that take a while to untie and remove. The TSA recommends wearing thin-soled slip-on shoes (such as slip-ons or flip-flops) that come off easily and don’t require additional screening. Skidders Slippers and Flats are an entire line of oh-so chic ballet flats and folding flip flops that make the perfect travel companion for the airport and airplane. Skidders are perfect even if you are traveling by car or train too! We all want our feet to be comfortable when we travel and Skidders is the perfect way to do JUST that. (Available for $9.99 and up at http://skidders.com)
Tip #2: Get plenty of rest
Traveling can be a real pain in the neck … literally. For many travelers, falling asleep upright and waking up with neck discomfort happens far too often. The problem is in the pillow … or trying to nap without proper head support. Skip the dirty airline pillows and try NapAnywhere, a minimalist, head-support device developed specifically by a physician for travelers. It effectively provides head support while in a seated position. This comfortable, portable device can be used while traveling on planes, subways, trains, buses and cars as a passenger. Small and compact, it fits easily into your carry-on, backpack, laptop bag or purse. It’s also stain-resistant and can be wiped clean. A carrying pouch is included to help protect the NapAnywhere when not in use. Available in five colors: black, crimson, cobalt, cream and lime. Just in time for the hectic travel season you can save 10% on your purchase. Discount can be found at www.napanywhere.net. NapAnywhere pillows retail for $59.
