Hotel alarm clocks

Pound the Alarm!

One of the first things you should always check when you get to a hotel is the alarm clock. You never know if the last person who stayed in your room set an alarm for 4:30 am so they could catch a flight. You might be rudely awakened to find out they may have changed the time on the alarm click to their local time as well. Chances are if you're out west then you will then be running way ahead of schedule. But of you are out east you might be showing up late for a meeting or event.

One word. Earplugs.

One word. Earplugs.

On a flight this morning from Detroit there was a scared puppy who was having a hard time and barked most of the way on the short flight. Since it was early most people were trying to sleep and many were starting to get grouchy. A year ago I might have been a little upset too but if you've been on a plane more than twice you know that loud and disturbing noises are common when flying. That is why you should never get on a flight without earplugs.

Loud seatmates and airplane turbulence can be grouped into this category as well. Airplanes tend to scare small children and dogs often become a complete wreck when they fly. Every person can control their own personal peace with even a cheap pair of headphones or earplugs.

Sometimes a parent may not be helping the situation or the people behind you want to share their conversation with everyone in the 3 rows around them. The only thing you can do though is be prepared. Noise canceling headphones are wonderful but can be pricy. But honestly any kind of small in ear headphone is going to help.

Earplugs though easily fit in a pocket and can be taken out easily if you do want to listen to music. Most are reusable and can provide a nice quiet place to relax your mind while you shoot through the sky in an aluminum tube of plastic and steel.

Until next time...
