Ep_61; Delayed in Transit

Sep 7, 2023

Gail Carriger and Piper J. Drake discuss their coping methods when there are travel delays long and short, but especially long.

But first! Where have Gail & Piper been?

Gail & Piper had a writing retreat together in Honolulu (February 2023) and Gail experienced major travel whammy!

Piper's Coping Mechanisms:

• Have the airline app on my phone, so I can get boarding updates without having to hear the announcements
• Find the quiet spots in the airport, such as a gate that does NOT have a flight boarding any time soon
• Find a restaurant with power outlets for food and power
• Pack a tennis ball for physical therapy  

Gail's Coping Mechanisms:

• Looking for a nicer sit down restaurant

• Chair massage or nail salon
• Do some shopping - duty free or otherwise
• Migrating sleep kit to carry on

Gadgets:

• Gail's gadget: back up battery charger with key chords with all the adapter ends
• Piper's gadget: selection of ear buds (Apple Air Pods) for noise cancelling
