Travel tips

In case you ever need them:

1. Never pack a bag that you can't lift by yourself. Yes I'm looking at you lady that was on both of my flights and had to ask for help putting it in the overhead bin. You were young and in good health. Pick it up yourself, lazy. Or pack less.
2. Don't overstuff your bag. This is related to #1 but you can stuff it with light stuff and then you spend 10 minutes clogging the aisle trying to shove it in the overhead bin until you give up and check it. Sigh.
3. Do not apply smelly lotion on the airplane. Closed space + Sweet smell = Nausea.
4. If someone isn't making eye contact with you, don't talk to them. They generally want to be left alone. And they really don't want to hear about your latest surgery.
5. Patience is a virtue but stupidity is a curse. Just assume most everyone else traveling with you falls in the latter category.
6. Always ask the hotel staff where they would eat. Locals know the best restaurants.

I'm sure I'll have more as the week goes on but this is from today.
