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
