“I don’t feel like I need a neck pillow, but someone I know recommended a lumbar support pillow. I purchased this one and it is easy to blow up. I must admit having that extra support for my lower back was worth the purchase price. It was definitely more comfortable, especially as I am short and either my legs touch the ground or my back is against the seat but not both. This filled in that gap for me. It also doubled as a lap pad for my computer.” — Peggy Cleveland

“When I travel, I always seem to have lots of cords, charging plugs, and earbuds to keep track of. I received some Lotus eco-friendly produce bags from Lotus and found they also work well for travel.

I throw a couple in my carry-on in case I need extra storage. I use one to keep all my electronic plugs, cords, et cetera. I always seem to accumulate little things such as extra Bischoff cookies when flying Delta. A Lotus bag captures all the extra clutter.” — Peggy Cleveland

“I always put my toothbrush and travel-size toothpaste in my carry-on. They also come in handy if you eat something particularly offensive at the airport. Your seatmates will thank you.” — Kentrell Charles

“Games on the Go offers up age-appropriate activities no matter where you are: in a car, on a plane, or inside on a rainy day. While some cards are designed to be specifically road trip-centric, others can be performed anywhere.
