My time in California came to an end before I knew it, and there I was, sitting at the airport waiting to board the plane. (and writing this post to help keep me awake!) On my last few trips I have flown the "red eye". The plane generally leaves around 11 PM and arrives in Tampa around 7. Some people look at me like I am crazy for doing this....and, perhaps I am! But, I find that I am tired when I fly during the day, and I've wasted the whole day. If I fly at night, I'm tired during the day, but I don't feel like I've wasted a day. Another plus...the plane ride seems to be that much faster as I try my best to sleep most of the way.
A friend who has traveled extensively recommended that other folks who anticipate long plane trips buy a "Trtl" travel pillow. I bought one and I'm a believer. I don't have to carry around a bulky neck-roll type pillow which still allows my head to flop forward. The Trtl is made of a plastic frame covered in fleece. The fleece wraps around your neck and attaches to the base of the brace with velcro.
And look what happens when you put the Trtl on: you are suddenly 40 years younger, 20 pounds lighter and beautiful! Hahaha!
The pillow worked its magic and I slept fairly well. Before I knew it, an announcement came on saying we would be landing in Tampa in 25 minutes.
