Considering her ‘what-time-does-my-flight-leave?' lifestyle, and the fact that she knows just what's going on in the lives of several of the drivers who regularly transport her back and forth to the airport, Girlawhirl knows a thing or two about getting there. And while philosophers may say that it's all about the journey, all Girlawhirl wants is one that's comfortable. For traveling friends, family and co-workers, Girlawhirl's pulled together a list of little helpers to make the journey all that much more enjoyable…
• Travel to a new destination turns a trip into an adventure, but there's something to be said for a little bit of knowledge when it comes to a foreign city. With colorful covers and smartly sized so that they fit into a pocket or handbag, the new Wallpaper* City Guides from Phaidon Press don't advertise that the reader is a tourist. And with 20 cities to choose from, Girlawhirl's found a few for each of her traveling friends.

• For friends that travel great distances, like her Super Pal who's always headed to Europe or Asia, a fun travel pillow from Flight 001 keeps her comfy, even without the prospect of an upgrade. This pretty silk one has a matching eye mask so she can get some sleep along the way.

• Girlawhirl won't go on a trip without carrying on her secret-stay-healthy-weapon: Sprayology's Cold & Flu Relief Spray. When she feels the first hint of a tickle in her throat or a tingle in her nose, she immediately starts spraying the homeopathic formula under her tongue and whatever it is that is trying to infiltrate her system is stopped in its tracks. When paired with TravelEase, a spray designed to treat jet lag, it's a perfect combination for a traveling friend.

• With the variety of games and its compact size, the Travel Game Set from Day Timers is a perfect accessory for travelers a deux or a great way to break the ice with a seatmate. And because it's magnetic, the game pieces won't slide off the board. Girlawhirl is pairing these with a fancy chocolate bar for all the Super Pals who travel for business.

• And while Girlawhirl knows that personal comfort during a flight is key, she also wouldn't want any of her family or friends to be faced with a suitcase full of wrinkled clothes upon arrival. Clothes Bags from Flight 001 keep clothes in order, with one side for clean clothes and another for dirty.

• Girlawhirl has travel-sized versions of all her important toiletries and cosmetics, but until she found Bobbi Brown's Mini Brush Set, her makeup brushes were forever sticking out of her travel kit. These are perfect pint sized versions of the bigger brushes she uses at home.
