I don't travel nearly as much as you do, my dear, but here are a few tips from a short chick. 1. Wear slip-on shoes (clogs or whatnot) to get through security quick. 2. Diabetic pressure socks can help keep your feet from swelling on a plane. 3. Thermacare air-activated heat packs are a godsend for those of us with back problems on long trips! 4. I DO check luggage, because I don't like lugging it around. For our trip to London, we checked one bag each, and I packed an empty cloth duffel bag, rolled up inside. When we came back, we put our dirty laundry in the duffel, and all our expensive and large souvenirs in the large hard-sided suitcase! 5. I vastly prefer a rolling backpack for carry-on luggage. Just my 5 cents! Like many other travelers, I have some favorite tips, too! I don’t travel nearly as much as you do, my dear, but here are a few tips from a short chick.

Traveling away from home and to new places can change your thoughts, sharpen your senses, introduce you to wonderful people and places, and create a remarkable experience in the process. It is imperative that you travel. And once in a while, staying in the lap of luxury in your far away destinations will make all the difference.
