There's no better understanding of the word Urgent than when you realise you have to make an immediate trip.
This morning I awoke all bloom and smiles cause well... last night was breezy.
Off to the shower to prepare for work, when I got an unexpected call summoning me to Port Harcourt, a City approximately 200km away from my current location, a 5 hours Journey on our Unique Nigerian Roads.
Even at this moment of writing, I'm on the road.
It however just occured to me that I had left a lot of travelling items which would have ofcourse, made this unplanned and long trip abit pleasant
At the instance of the call, I had just within minutes forced my laptop and few clothes into the bag and puff...
In line of such experience, I hearby render some wise words of travelling, for they may come in handy when there's need to move around.
Quick Travel Tips
Snacks: first on my list woud have to be snacks, of which I believe you have already deduced my current state of peckishness
A Gadget: As boring as the trip is, I could only imagine how it would have been if I wasn't with my phone
Silence Breaker: Try initiating a conversation with the next passenger, he/she might have alot to offer in terms of company or information.
Readers: you could bring along a book, magazine or newspaper if interested in reading
Games: Some *old fashion * Cards is alright, you could play with the guy sitting next to you, it's also a silence breaker. I had just finished a game of Mobile Draught with the Passenger beside me, before he decided to take a royal nap
Charger or Power Bank: I hurried out with half a battery full, so you can imagine why there won't be much social media networking for me on this trip. I forgot my Power bank and Yea.... I also forgot my PC charger .......crap.
Medication: Incase of health issues or phobia, I alway carry a pack of pain killers when travelling, you never know..
Soothing Accessories: for instance Ear Muffs, blanket, eye blinds etc anything that keeps you comfy
Unfortunately the only fun I've had since we moved was those few minutes of draught and ofcourse my company with you.
This tips could also come in handy while in the waiting area, awaiting a flight and train
Ohh.... and No, it wasn't bad news, actually this trip was hoped for, though not planned for.
