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
