Plane Snacks
Hello from high above the clouds! 
So, I’m sort of obsessed with Virgin America– reliable internet access, touchscreen entertainment system, and on-demand snacks and drinks. Remember the last time that I flew the airline? I practically gushed about my experience! It’s such a cool airline. I highly recommend it!
Before taking off, I munched on a KIND bar. The almond & coconut flavor might just be my favorite.
My snacks for the plane included: an apple, dried apricots, pistachios, and some Amazing Grass… and I ate them all before lunch. 
I don’t know how to pace myself sometimes!
While working away, I sipped on some hot black tea.
I made some serious progress with my To Do list this morning. I made some long-awaited changes to my blog and finished my Health post.
Wi-fi + 6 hour flight = mucho productivity! 
Even after eating all of those snacks, my stomach started to grumble. Apparently, there wasn’t enough staying power in those snacks. 
I probably should have ordered a “proper” lunch, but it being Cookie Friday and all, I settled on some gourmet chocolate chip cookies. Of course, cookies are not the healthiest option, but I’m on vacation and a workout in San Fran will even it all out. Plus, the’re really good cookies– tons and tons of chocolate chips! 
Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter! I’ve been tweeting like a mad woman! Also, be sure to check out the Foodbuzz Festival hashtag at #fbzfest. And, if you’re not in SF this weekend, Caitlin started #notinSF. Love it! I’ll definitely miss her this weekend!

I fly Virgin Atlantic to London every other month. I have no complaints what so ever. I love the eye masks, socks, toothpaste and toothbrush they give you! They also let you check 2 pieces of luggage for international flight for FREE!
Have fun in SF. =)

I love flying so much too, although never tried Virgin Atlantic, but next time I fly I will definetely check out there fares first!
Love all the healthy, yet delicious snacks you’ve had, especially the cookie!

Almond & Coconut is definitely my favorite flavor too! Jealous of the cookies, I think I will have to celebrate cookie Friday as well
Carolyn — November 6, 2009 @ 3:15 pm
Have fun!!! I wish I had the opportunity to fly JetBlue or Virgin. I’m always on Delta or USAir.
Ami — November 6, 2009 @ 3:47 pm

MelissaNibbles — November 6, 2009 @ 4:57 pm
I’ve yet to try a Kind bar. I’ll have to pick one up at Whole Foods this weekend. I agree with Stacy above, beautiful nail polish!
Enjoy your trip. Can’t wait to read about your adventures!

Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) — November 6, 2009 @ 5:03 pm
i love kind bars! and cookies too
i had a “nutritionist” bash my daily eats online yesterday (she said i was going to get diabetes from too many carbs!), so it’s reassuring to see a fellow healthy living blogger enjoy some treats.
Have fun in SF!
K — November 6, 2009 @ 6:11 pm
Kind bars are the best!! Glad you made it safe and sound! Have a blast
maria — November 6, 2009 @ 6:29 pm
Some days deserve a special lunch of cookies. The important thing is that you really treasure and enjoy those days as a rarity, which you obviously do.
Cookies are a beautiful thing.
candice — November 6, 2009 @ 6:56 pm
Haha, nothing wrong with cookies for lunch, especially if they’re “gourmet” and delicious.
Besides, you had all those nutritious snacks beforehand. 
Have a wonderful trip!

Katie — November 6, 2009 @ 7:36 pm

Lizzy — November 6, 2009 @ 9:20 pm

You liked those Brent Sam’s cookies? I saw some yesterday, and bought a box. We all thought they were indistinguishable from Mrs. Field’s boxed cookies. Good, but nothing exceptional, and for the money Mrs. Field’s are cheaper (when I get them on sale at our grocery store).
