Alright, I have three tips for you.
1.Flights never run on time
2. Take “Dream Water” for a long flight
3. Eat Mexican food before you leave the country
So for number one. Our flight was supposed to leave at 7pm out of Dallas, but we did not end up departing until 11:30pm. However… It worked out in Natalie and Mary Hannah’s favor because their flight to Dallas got delayed, which means they would miss the 7pm flight.
Number two- If you are going out of the country and are going to have
a long flight, take “Dream water.” You can buy it at the little
convenience stores in the airport. I promise you, this stuff works
wonders.. I’ve never slept any better. I slept the entire flight.
And last but not least, eat Mexican food. I don’t know what it is about cheap Mexican food that my stomach craves too often. Go all out before you leave the country because you will most definitely miss it. Orrrr… Like Natalie did, eat a hot-dog from the airport.
xoxo, SJ
