Travel Quick Tip

Seat-Back Bag: Whenever I fly, I pack my crossword puzzle book, a pencil, gum, and a few magazines in a small, durable plastic bag like the kind you get at bookstores. The bag is easy to lift out of my carry-on, and it fits right into the airplane seat pocket. I have everything at my fingertips, and nothing ever disappears into the depths of the pocket.
