make in a ten-room house, how could I cope in a motor home?

DEAR BARBARA: I've never taken a flight of more than two hours (even less, really — Vancouver to Calgary). 've booked a non- stop Wardair flight to Europe in the spring and I'd hike to know what in hell you do to stay sane through ten hours of droning along over mountains, sea and sky? ANSWER: Eat, sleep and watch the movie. Read, do needlepoint, molest the the nearest passenger as long as it’s your husband or designated spouse. Watch the sunset-sunrise within five siinutes. Write in your diary. Go to the washroom and brush your teeth. Ask the fight attendant for (1) A coloring book, (2) A deck of cards. Count the wrinkles on the back of your mght hand. H all else fails, go for a walk on the wings. Just be glad you're going.

DEAR BARBARA: I! don’t want to go anywhere. In fact, } think you've got be be crazy because you seem to get such fun out of leaving our wonderful country, your home, your family = and

everything and going to someplace where nothing is as good as home. How can you doit?

ANSWER: 1! think my Great-Grandfather was a gypsy or else he travelled a lot. Probably to avoid either my Great-Grandmother or the bank. As a kid, I moved across Canada_ especially when Dad was in the Air- force. Trains were a helluva lot more fun than school When | went to university, I lived for four years out of one trunk and a couple of cardboard boxes. Since then, I've lived in the same house for 19 years. Do you wonder why | travel?

QUESTION: We've got a seven-hour layover in Chicago and want to leave the airport and see the city. We thought about hiring a cab. Is there a better way” ANSWER: This was a phonecall, and I asked when the flight would arnmve in Chicago. Answer: six-thirty a.m. I suggested taking the airport bus into the city. getting off at one of the best hotels. From there. there 1s usually a bus tour of the city, probably departing at 10:00 a.m. tll about noon. Rush back to the airport and grab your flight.

It would be fun to have either breakfast or lunch at

DEAR BARBARA: I'm getting confused. First ] read that it is best to travel light, leaving everything in one bag, checking it to your desunauon and expecting everything to arrive when you do.

Then, I read in a fancy

magazine that a smart lady traveller carries everything she'll need for 48 hours in a satchel that she carries aboard. That seems to be a nuisance and I'd like to know how much faith I should put in an airline to keep my bags on the same fhght ('m on. ANSWER: I won't promise that your bags will follow your route but I’m nearly sure that you'll get them damn fast. I’ve travelled the odd mile and haven't lost one of my own bags yet.

If I'm going for a long distance, I like a satchel with a robe and cosmetics. Shortly after take-off. I retire to the “blue room” and jon the robe. Later, I use the cosmetics, the washroom

It isn’t necessary — just: comfortable. If carrying a sachel is a pain in the butt, don’t bother. Shove a tube of lipstick, a toothbrush and a jar of deodorant in your handbag.

But the satchel holds all my duty-free stuff without having to clutch flimsy, plastic bags.
