     I talk alot about healthy tips to keep yourself safe while traveling and on vacation, but it doesn't stop there.  One thing I like to bring up is the effort that it takes to get home as well, that is still part of the plan.  So here are my ideas~

Safe Travels Home~

1) Have a plan before you ever leave home, even for the last day of vacation heading homeward.

2) Bring enough food so that there will be what you need on your last day.

3) Design a few recipes that travel well.  For instance, my breakfast was a packet of unsweetened oatmeal, (used the water line on the oatmeal bag to add the water), 2 Tablespoons ground Flax, a smashed Banana, and Blueberries, feel free to add nuts if desired.  An Apple with an ounce of nuts, mini bag of Baby Carrots, Tuna Packets, Beef Jerky Sticks, and of course a baked good that travels well, such as my Blueberry Apple Snack Cake. 

4) Have a plan for when you get home, with prepped foods waiting on you so you are not making choices at the end of a hectic day, we want to avoid decision fatigue.  If your home isn't recovery ready when you walk in the door you may be in trouble.

5) Try to make a plan that you bring enough food to travel home, or if not, strive to only eat one meal out to get your fresh vegetables and protein.

6) This is a crazy one, but sooooo important to my brain.  I make sure my house is spic and span before we leave on vacation so I can walk back into order.  The very last thing you want is to walk into chaos upon entry.  Your brain will be very overwhelmed at the stimulation and will put you in a position of risk, and why would anyone do that to themselves.

7) Last one, try and plan for down time between planes or on the plane, or heaven forbid stuck on the tarmac. Download Netflix shows, bring a book have a crossword puzzle, knit, catch up on office work, or just envision what your week ahead will look like.  In other words, keep your mind busy and off the airport junk food.

8) Bonus tip~avoid the airport junk food if possible, and it helps so much if you have your own safe food with you so you won't be vulnerable to the sights and smells.  Mind your own beeswax and get straight to your gate.
