Hey guys, so this Boston, I guess Boston. This April I'm traveling to Boston and unfortunately because flights to Boston are not reasonable in April. I will be traveling without David and traveling alone in airport is unfortunately confusing and not always easy. So I wanted to share with you guys some of the things that I do in order to make traveling a little bit less stressful. So for me the first thing that I do whenever I am going to be taking a trip is I make sure, you know, I start making a list of all the things I need, like two weeks before I have to leave. So right now I'm working on getting everything packed. So get everything packed in advance and make sure to check your checklist so you don't accidentally forget anything. Take the checklist with you so you don't forget anything when you're leaving at the hotel. That's a really good tip too. The other thing that I strongly, strongly recommend, depending on your airport, if you are flying out of a major city hub, I will be arriving for my flight at least two hours early. If you're in a smaller airport you may not need to do this, but arrive early with plenty of time to get to your flight, figure out where you're going, get through security. I always find that airports are kind of confusing and a little bit overwhelming. And I am not the best at navigating places that are unfamiliar. So I tend to always kind of be turned around and a bit confused looking in the airport. And that's always unfortunate because security seems to always think I'm like up to something. And really I'm just like, okay, sort of I go, what? What? Do you say something? I couldn't understand you. I can't, because it's like I can't process what the security people are saying because the airport is so loud and it's so echoey and it's so big and there's just so much going on and security always gives me a hassle. So to make security easier, suggestions would be if you have a laptop, go ahead and take your laptop out of your bag before you get to the security gate, wear shoes that are easy to remove and put back on to go through airport security because they're going to make you take your shoes off. And wear like try to avoid like metal on your clothes anywhere and it might set off the detector and try to wear clothes that are you know like this probably wouldn't be the best shirt. I probably would wear something that was a little bit tighter fitting that that just like shows like I don't have anything in my clothes just not giving the TSA people any reason to bother you. And definitely like I flew to Chicago last April and it was cold and I wore my big lace up winter boots and I'm glad I had them in Chicago but it was a really big pain in the butt in the airport. So metal lace up boots, not so much. Shush the other thing, oh if possible book a direct flight because I always get turned around and lost and confused in airports. I really don't need the added pressure of having to change planes in a strange airport I've never been to on a time crunch to get to the next airplane. It's like clinic the hedgehog or mario when they're like underwater and it's like ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding you're gonna drown you're gonna drown get to the gate get to the gate no. I don't need that in my life when I'm trying to travel so whenever possible if you can book a direct flight or a flight that maybe does have a stop like a layover but there's no plane change that just would be a really big tip there. The other thing this is kind of specific to my region but I like southwest airlines out of the airlines I've flown they just been the best to deal with customer service is pretty great and I like that if I you know get there and get get on the plane it's first come per serve seating and I can I have I don't usually have trouble getting the window seat and it's just my my favorite airline so far I haven't flown on a lot of airlines just to clarify that pretty much all of my flights that I've ever taken have been for work even the pleasure flights work with work if that makes any sense to you but traveling for work with my teammates and co-workers has really let me learn from seasoned travel professionals how I can make my own travel a bit easier so guys these are just a few of the things I will be doing in order to get myself from Austin to Baltimore safely and hopefully without much difficulty do you have travel tips I'd love to hear them oh ear plugs that's another oh my gosh there's more give me your tips in the comments below because I've got this trip coming and it's I travel just the travel part getting there and getting back their flights the airport that really makes me nervous so I'd love any suggestions thank you guys so much I will talk to you next week have a good one bye
