Activities for planes

TOP 4 Activities for a plane

SO I recently did some website perusing trying to find some interesting activities to do on a plane.  I was sorely disappointed with the lists I found.  Read a book.  Wow, now there's something no one's ever considered.  As a person who works full time and barely has time to breathe with 2 small kids, I wanted to find some activities that I could do on a plane that could make me “feel” like I was productive. 

Obviously if you have actual work to do, you should probably do that.

1)Download a photobook app (like picaboo) that can be manipulated offline.  Spend your flight making a photobook that you keep promising yourself youre going to make, BEFORE the kids head off to college.

2)Create generic thank you notes
While I do not condone the use of thank you notes other than occasions when you open a gift without the gifter present, I do acknowledge its use in current society.  Make up about 5 similar but unique thank you notes, in a word doc, get some pretty colored card stock when you get back in town, and you're all set next time you need them.

Boy this list is hard without the use of the internet… I wish Amazon made a catalog.  Can you imagine the size of that thing??  But, I digress.

3) Play with the settings on your camera.  There are usually a million buttons on them, and now is an excellent time to play around with it and see what you can do.  Getting a book on photography or at least the owners manual could be helpful.  I would suggest you focus your pictures on photos in some magazines, unless you’re looking for a knuckle sandwich from a fellow passenger.

4) Buy some snacks you have never tried before (but not anything that smells super strong, that’s just cruel).  Then do a taste testing in mid air.  Offer little pieces of paper and pens to fellow passengers, and vote!  Seeing reviews in person, its got to be like the difference between watching a movie and seeing a play.  For the record, this is not something I would generally do, unless I have my husband with me, because the look of sheer horror/embarrassment on his face would be worth it to me.

So then for #4 Durrian fruit is right out? Also, at what age do you think it's alright to start taking your children with you when you travel?

    I’ll try to keep things short and sweet. 
    I’m a moderately adventurous, slightly paranoid, selectively cheap, significantly lazy, mostly analytical, not yet middle-yet always feel-aged
    traveler with 2 very loud pieces of baggage.  Yep, that’s me. 
    I also answer to Michelle.
