Hey
guys! So as you know by now, I am the famous Scout. Well my mom has given me
the chance to write for the blog while I’m up in the great, cloudy state of
Washington. So since it’s the first week, I’ve decided to write my top 3 rules
for traveling , especially by yourself, and they go as follows.
1. Don’t be” that” guy (or girl) on a plane.
Now we have all had “that” person sit next to us, let them be noisy, obnoxious,
rude, etc. Try to make sure that other people don’t have that same story about
you. What I do is first either get a window or aisle seat. This ensures that if
you do bother someone then it’s only 1 person. Then take either my nook or
Sudoku book out or both. Once you hit 10,000 feet, your ipod or mp3 player is
your best friend. I only take them off if the flight attendant comes for my
drink order (which even then I might not remove them) and when we begin our
descent. Also make sure you don’t sing along to your music because I know I
have a problem with that. XD
2. Triple check that you have gum and a
jacket. Gum is a necessity when on a plane. My ears are super sensitive so
they plug up easily and pop not so easily. I have also learned that if you sit
next to a little kid and their parent, their parent will love you forever when
the kid throws a tantrum because their ears hurt and you offer delicious,
nom-nomy gum. Also since I travel to an always cold and cloudy Washington,
bring a jacket. This also helps if your seat neighbor decides to crank their
air conditioning to full blast.
3. Never miss a chance to pee. This
rule is probably the most important and pretty self-explanatory. I highly
dislike airplane bathrooms. They are small, cramped and you cannot make a line
or “congregate” in front when you really have to go. So go to the bathroom in
the terminal. They are the exact opposite of the airplane. Big, roomy, and you
can make a line 
. Even you don’t have that
urge, go anyway. It’s better for everyone.

So
those are my top 3 rules for traveling especially by yourself. I hope that
these rules helped and remember to tune in to the blog (almost) every week
for….ME!!!
