Often during the course of the day, I’ll do something on the computer where I’ll think “that’s really cool, there’s probably a lot of people that don’t know you can do that!” I have a Facebook Page called Craig’s Classroom where I often post these tips and you can follow if you are interested. Meanwhile, my favorite tips are often too small in themselves to create a whole article on. I decided to start this blog series where I compile 5 tips at a time. Here is the Part 2 of this series. (see bottom for links to Part 1 of series)

There are different flight tracking sites
www.flightaware.com is my favorite
don’t head to the airport til you know what time
the flight is ACTUALLY arriving
(cool too to zoom in on map and see where they are and what altitude,
etc!)
