Chock Full of Travel Gear

Are you ready to go on a Poo-Poo Rocket holiday? What you're missing is some rocket gear! Here are the 10 things you need to pack in your in-flight bag to keep you comfy on flights, long or short.
But first you need a bag to put everything into! Choose one that's light, sturdy, and brightly-coloured so that you can spot it easily:
Our two in-flight bags!
 
Now, here's what needs to go in:

#1: Your FAVOURITE Plush Toy

A cute and cuddly plush toy will comfort you if you're feeling homesick.
 
A nice, cuddly soft toy to hug!
 
#2: A small pillow or bolster

Are you feeling sleepy? Yawn... A small pillow or bolster will be handy for a nice nap on the plane.

Yawn... Bolster and pillow needed for takeoff!
#3: A good book

If you're a bookworm, a good book will just be your cup of tea!
 
A good book to keep you occupied!
 
#4: Paper and pencils to draw with

Drawing happy pictures will surely cheer you up, especially when the flight feels endless!



Bring some colour pencils or crayons for doodling!
This will help you pass the time.

#5: Card games
Be it Snap, Donkey, Uno, Monopoly or Happy Families, these interesting and fun card games will keep you entertained throughout your flight!


Fun card games to play!

#6: Candy to chew if you have ear pains during descent
Having ear pains? Not to worry! Bring some small sweets to chew on the plane and voila! The pain will go away instantaneously.

Make your ear pains go away with the magical and magnificent
sweets! Hooray!

#7: An empty water bottle
Most airlines don't allow you to bring your own water on board but you can request some upon boarding. Just beckon the cabin crew, hand them your bottle and ask them to fill it with some water. This helps to cut down on the use of disposable cups too! It's great to be an environmental traveller!

Our water bottles that we carry on the flight. Spillproof - just the way our mum likes it!

#8: A change of clothes
You know that dreadful word 'turbulence'? Sometimes the flight is like a wild roller coaster ride and you may feel a little quesy and even ... gulp, throw up and make a mess of yourself. You will feel kinda awful but a change of clothes will make you feel MUCH better! Pack extra clothes into a plastic bag and you can use the bag to store your dirty clothes too!

A change of clothes for an emergency.
 
#9: A sweater
Brrr... the plane can be freezing sometimes. Get warm and toasty with your sweater!
 
Remember to keep warm!

 
#10: An airsickness bag (a.k.a. vomit bag)
Rocket adventures have some of their hairy moments! Turbulence and airsickness can make you feel like throwing up. :( An airsickness bag can also be used to store your trash and whatever else comes out of you ...
Like this super-adorable Hello Kitty airsickness bag that our Godpa Gary got on his Hello Kitty plane ride?
Hope we get to board that EVA Air plane some day!

Once you've got all your gear ready, you're all set for another Poo Poo Rocket adventure!

3, 2, 1, BLAST OFF!!! Wheee.........
