For some, the excitement of travel is enough to distract them through even the most painful layovers and delays. For the rest of us, we need a little assistance to help us make it through the flight.

I’m proud to say that I’m in the Baby Boom Generation. Many of my teaching colleagues are in Generation X. My 28-year-old daughter and my 26-year-old son are in Generation Y, a demographic group also known as the Millennials.
