Raven's Roads
Living an interesting life: the travels and musings
of motorcycling author Linda R. Moore

I’d love to ride to Charleston this October, but it’s not going to happen. It’s not just the high cost of gas is keeping me back; it’s that there are all these pesky mountains in between California and South Carolina, and those are likely to have some (eep!) snow. So, either we’re going to have to take out a mortgage to drive the RV there and back, or it’s good old air miles for me along with destination bike envy (you know, envy of those who are already out on their bikes).

Travel by air has changed beyond recognition. It’s like the bad old days when we couldn’t afford to fly have come back. And now they either don’t feed you at all, or sell you overpriced food… and travel blankets are few and far between. Even when I travel in jeans I get cold flying. It’s got to be the piped air and the enforced sitting still. Nothing to warm the blood, and all that.

Luckily, there’s the Cabin Cuddler now. The compact little bag holds a patented blanket design with a little pocket for your feet. It even has its own inflatable pillow! Actually, this would be a neat thing to take on a bike, especially if you were camping (or stuck somewhere). And, unlike airline blankets, they’re actually big enough to cover you from top to toe.

Pretty neat!
