Hello pretties,
Wrapping up summer this week and heading into a new quarter, but looking back on good travel memories. Y’all know my birthday = a trip somewhere and this year it was a West Coast Tour from The A to San Diego and Los Angeles. So me and my travel sister Tanishame over @glamcury, go check her out, split up these two fab Cali towns – I planned SD and she planned LA. Too much fun, for real! Now from The A to the West Coast isn’t too bad but if you are coming from someplace further away, here are a few tips to help on a coast to coast flight.
West Coast Tour
1 – Before and during your trip – hydrate, hydrate, and more hydration. Airplanes are dry as heck so drink up and avoid alcohol.
2 – Splurge and get some good noise cancelling headphones to drown out the talking and general airplane sounds. Those free earbuds the airlines passes out are a hot mess. On a longer flight, the airlines offer some form of entertainment, good headphones make the experience so much more enjoyable. When you are ready to nap, good headphones are a lifesaver.
3 – So we got a super good deal to Cali, but it included a 3 hour layover in San Francisco. If you have a longer layover, use the airlines lounge. At the United Airlines lounge, we enjoyed WiFi, outlets for charging and a nice buffet – the mimosas were not bad either! You’ll have to be a member to visit, spoil yourself!
4 – Once you land and check-in at your hotel, skip the nap and hit the streets, grab a meal at a popular spot. We hit Sweetie Pies in LA, too dang good – was Mama back there cooking? Then come back to the room to rest and refresh!
5 – Who cares what time it is at home!!?? Get on West Coast time girl, after all you are on vacay.
Oh and did I tell you me and my twin hit Vegas on our birthday? Our first trip, just the twins and we had a ball! I hit it big a few times too!

The end of summer doesn’t signal the end of travel season, more posts to come!!
What’s your tip for jet lag or for longer flights?
Linking with these lovely bloggers.
When I travel on a long flight I want to sit with people I love, not those I just met when their large handbag hit me in the head. . . I know you had a grand time on your last trip (the photos told the tale). So, where are you going next?
