subject: Keeping Busy And Protecting Your Privacy When Traveling [print this page] If you have traveled for business all by yourself, the chances are that you have been seated next to someone you simply don't want to talk to. You want to relax and drown out the entire world until you get to your destination. If you are flying with kids, you just want them to make it to their destination without setting the plane on fire and embarrassing you to no extent and ruining your vacation before you even get to you destination.
Now that portable devices are so small and contact and your kids know how to use them, things have gotten a lot easier to travel. If you can keep the kids and yourself distracted, that's a good thing unless you are on a cross country trip in which case just about everything can get boring and stuffy. There are always strangers trying to talk to you because they are bored themselves, so the best way to block out unwanted intrusions is just to put a barrier between you and your co-traveler.
Most laptops offer wireless internet and they can be used on any airplane once the pilot says you can. This will help you in two ways. First, you can get some business done if you are flying by yourself so you are prepared by the time you get to your destination, especially if you are meeting with a client as soon as you get off the plane. You can also just relax by playing game that are easy to download. Either way, the hours fly by a lot faster than staring out the window at clouds.
Don't forget your family when you are flying. Anyone can use the laptop and chances are your kids and spouse have already downloaded things on the laptop that will keep them busy for hours at a time as long as they know they have to share. Even if one child is playing a game, chances are the other kids will be watching and they will all be quiet until its time to trade to the next sibling.
You can even keep everybody busy with games on your phone or computer. Of course you can always do the old fashioned thing and take an actual book with paper pages along with you. They are found in places called libraries and book stores. You don't see them as much as you used to.
