How to cope with travelling long distances.

I haven't blogged in awhile since I have been out of town and previous to that the DC area was hit with a blizzard. Both of those events have given me ideas for things to talk about.
Yesterday, I spent the better part of 15 hours travelling from the Pacific Northwest back to DC. In that time I sat on a bus, plane and train. This left me feeling less than ideal. Here are some of the things I did to "work out the kinks".
1) Get up as often as possible and walk around. This is the single easiest and most important thing to do while travelling.
2) When there is enough room stretch anything that is feeling tight. (ie, legs, back, neck) These stretches can be simply bending over and touching your toes or crossing one of your legs over the other and pulling your legs into your body.
3) Do some body weight squats to get your brain to engage your glutes again. Lunges and Good Mornings will help loosen your hips, legs, and low back as well. For your neck do range of motion activities like flexing, extending and rotating your head.
4) Drink plenty of water! Too often people don't drink enough while travelling. Not drinking enough water is asking for cramps.
5) Bring along the "Stick" or a soft ball to roll out extremely tight or painful areas. Don't be embaressed about rolling around on a ball. There is usually enough room in the back of planes to do so.
6) If you are travelling with children try turning all of these suggestions into a game. It will keep them engaged and offer you the opportunity to reduce your aches and pains.
