Desperately Seeking Slumber
On long-haul flights, an unconventional travel pillow can be the key to avoiding a pain in the neck
SLEEP AID HELP: EXTREMELY HIGH
Packability: Medium
Embarrassment Factor: Medium
Setup Hassle: None
Maybe some people wouldn't be embarrassed by the look of this travel pillow. But my family (which includes two preteen boys) found the shape—two large balls—hilarious.

New Items Make Family Travel Easy & Fun
I hate to sound like a lazy traveler in my first post at The Vacation Gals, but my two favorite finds from the recent Travel Goods Association Show have to do with sleeping and sitting. Sure, there's adventure travel, and travel focused on biking and hiking and swimming and scuba diving (whew, getting tired just thinking about all that!) — but after working hard at our daily jobs, isn't relaxing comfortably an important part of a vacation?
Yes, relaxing is indeed a major part of any family vacation. As for sleep, well, I just found the travel pillow of my dreams in Kuhi Comfort. Its unique design, think puffy little barbell or overstuffed earmuffs, provides just the right amount of head and neck support. This brand new product will soon be available in kid sizes. Best of all, this mom-designed pillow can go in the washing machine after your trip.
