Yoga pants are awesome, even if you don't do yoga! What to wear on the plane..

I am wearing addidas capri yoga pants on the trip over (remember that this outfit will be worn for the first evening in Greece too). For those of you who know me, you know I don't do Yoga. I should, but I don't. Nonetheless, the pants are awesome!! I am wearing those and a t-shirt short socks and wearing my sneakers  loosely tied (they weigh more than my flip flops so better to pack the flops and wear the sneakers). This is so comfy on the plane and when I have to take my shoes off to go through security, I won't be bare footed (ewww).  Once you get on the plane, take them off and put them in the overhead bin so they are not clogging up your foot space during travel. Just before we start to decent, get them down and slide them on. So Here's the trick. Pack a small baggie of laundry powder in your checked luggage (not your carry on unless you want to get frisked).  THE FIRST NIGHT, hand wash this same outfit and let it dry while we are in Athens. Then you can wear the same outfit home. Another tip...ladies esp., if you just bought new undergarments, wear an old set that you are about to toss, on the trip over and then toss them while there. Nothing to pack and bring back. I have done this with coats on winter trips, tennis shoes, etc. It's a GOOD strategy unless you go throwing out good things to save a $50-$100 additional weight fee on your bag. Just throw out stuff you thought you were going to throw out already. Same for toiletries. Toss them for the ride back home. You don't need the other half of your shampoo bottle, travel toothpaste, etc. Just toss it, unless it's high end stuff that's worth money.
