Next week I'll be flying with my girls to see my parents. For anyone who has traveled with their ebook readers, is there anything in particular I should be aware of before we leave? I know for my netbook I'll have to run that through the scanner separately, but can I leave my Pocket Pro in my purse? Or do I need to put it in a separate bin? Or do I not even need to tell them about it? We're staying in the States, so it's not an international flight.
And slightly off topic, does anyone have any suggestions for keeping my girls entertained?
They're 9 and 6 years old, and none of us fly very often. Unfortunately my husband can't make this trip.
But the girls and I will have fun!
I want to pack as light as possible in my carry on. I'm thinking maybe just my purse, my netbook, and our cameras. Does anyone have any suggestions for other small (inexpensive) items I could bring along for the girls? I thought about those "magic books" or whatever they're called, where you color with the special pen provided and the picture turns up. I also thought about putting some of their videos on my netbook, but I'm not sure they'd really be able to hear it very well on the plane. Both legs of our trip are less than 2 hours, so there won't be any in-flight entertainment (movies, or whatever). Oh, but they both have a tendency to get car sick, so maybe those coloring books wouldn't be so good, although they'd work for the layover.
Oops, sorry for getting so off topic.
I'm mainly wanting to know about flying with my Pocket Pro. Thanks!
