Wilde Child Travel: Long Haul Must Haves

On long trips there are a few things I make sure I always have with me. These items are beside my cellphone, wallet, jacket, and every other everyday item I carry with me. When I am on a long haul flight or train ride, I want these things within my reach at all times!

1. Archer Farms Monster Trail Mix: It's my favorite snack. The bigger bags have a resealable mouth that is great so you don't have to eat it all in one sitting. I keep this with me so I won't have to get more expensive snack at the train station or airport. It contains chocolate, peanut butter, peanuts, and raisins. Salty and sweet!

2. Ipod: I have to have my music. I like blocking out everything around me - especially if someone near me is snoring.

3. Cell phone charger: Must keep my phone juiced.

4. Sunglasses: A necessity, especially on trains. I like to wear them on trains when I'm sleeping to help keep light out of my eyes.

5. Hand sanitizer: Any kind is good, but I love the Herbalife brand. It doesn't sting my skin or leave a potent scent on my hands.

6. Gum: I usually bring mint flavor with me. It's the most soothing scent and I chew it during take off on planes.

7. Face wipes: These are great when you have a long layover. Wipe the oil off your face and neck and throw the wipe away. Simple and you'll feel refreshed.

8. Instant coffee: (Not pictured) I always keep a pack of instant on me. I ask for either hot water or cold water at the cafe and make my own coffee.
