@colleenyoung thanks, Colleen. I do keep some sanitizing wipes with me and thoroughly clean the tray table and areas I will be touching. Reading that article almost makes me dread traveling though. The germs, along with the fact that something shows up causing me to get patted down on every flight I have taken in the last 13 months, makes it a lot less pleasurable, not to mention the size of the airports! When we flew to Denver my tracker told me I walked over 9000 steps, and that was in the airport because all of our flights and luggage were at the furthest place.

Every time I travel, I can hear my mom saying, "Don't touch!" and "Wash your hands!"
