Hands down, the best pre-trip investment we made was the The Total Pillow. (Seriously, you have to watch that video). We picked up these little wonders at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Brandon was a little skeptical at first. His worries were not soothed when the packing commenced and we realized they would not fit in our luggage - and would therefore have to be transported strapped to our backpacks for all the world to see.
Matters were not helped when, upon arriving at our gate in Chicago, a little boy screamed, "Look, Mom! That have Total Pillows!" But, boy, were we glad we had them! So many uses!! During our 4-hour lay-over in Chicago, we spent many hours sitting on the ground...on our Total Pillows. Once we boarded the plane for our 13-hour flight to Delhi, we both snuggled in with our Total Pillows, construction-grade earmuffs, and eye-masks. Did we look super dorky? Yes - but we both got many hours of undisturbed sleep and arrived to Delhi feeling refreshed. Unfortunately, we arrived at 9:30pm, and then endured a 9-hour layover in a tiny "visitor's lounge." We each got about 30 minutes of sleep before our 5:30am flight - but even that was only thanks to the Total Pillow. I can't say enough good about this travel pillow.
The usefulness continues here in Lucknow. It truly is a Total Pillow! We use it almost daily.
