The curse of the travel pillows......

Here's me sleeping on a plane. Do you notice what's missing??? The travel pillow? How can I sleep well on a plane without a travel pillow? Well the truth is I can't. And that is why I seem to own eight travel pillows.
Travel pillows are great inventions for those of us who have to travel cattle class. The only disadvantage of them is that you feel like a right pillock blowing them up. I'm not sure why, but somehow you feel like you are doing something illegal, trying to subtly blow into them. It just never feels like a natural thing to be doing on a plane surrounded by strangers.....
But the main problem with them is that you always forget them. Or you accidently pack them into your hold luggage and only realise after you have passed through security. Which leaves you with a dilemma. Will I risk not having one?Or will I just buy a new one to add to my collection? I always buy a new one. The times I have flown without one, I look on in envy at the people snoozing comfortably with their head supported in a perfect position. You sit the whole flight, with your head falling off your neck, kicking yourself that you didn't spend the 4.95 in duty free.
When you get home you place it with the other seven in your cupboard. And then on your next trip, you realise at the airport you have forgotten it. So you buy one and when you are returning you accidently pack in your hold luggage. So one trip: two travel pillows. When will I ever learn? I would advice anyone to buy shares in travel pillows.
