I used to stress constantly when I travelled, always afraid I’d forgotten something, or if I was going to have a delayed flight, even worrying about the wait between flights, or the anxiety of the flight itself. Now that I have a smartphone, most of these worries have all but evaporated. I use PackingPro by Quinnscape, so if I feel like I forgot something, I can check my list to make sure it’s been checked off. I’ve also managed to beat the wait from layovers and the anxiety I used to get when flying. For that I use an app I got through my employer, Dish. Their remote access app lets me watch live or recorded shows off my receiver at home on my phone or tablet. I used to hate the airport…now it’s a chance to catch up on the latest episode of Game of Thrones, and I love it.
