Airline confirmation, boarding passes, luggage ticket. Put the car and house keys in a safe place, keep ID and/or passport safe but handy, toiletries in clear quart bag. Need a snack? Be sure to put  debit card back in  wallet. Take off  shoes and jacket and put them in the bin. Can’t see the boarding pass. Blood pressure going up. Found it under one shoe. Hurry, hurry. Keep moving. Gather jacket. Kindle back in the purse. Many parts. Don’t leave anything behind. Cell phone? One more time, boarding pass, where are you? Yes! Second one in jacket pocket? Sure hope so!

Airline travel can be stressful. Readers, do you have any advice about how you get through the boarding process? A special purse or pouch? I have a really nice LL Bean travel blazer with hidden zipped inner pockets for my passport. It is made out of no wrinkle fabric which always looked great even after I sat on it for hours on the airplane. Unfortunately, the blazer is stating to look a little dated. Do you have any input on travel jackets or vests? I will post a link in the next few days about a travel scarf with a zippered pocket. I am going to buy one and check it out. I know many of you are creative and hope you will share your problem solving ideas.
