A word about Jet Lag
After crossing several time zones, many travelers suffer from "jet lag." Although there is no way to completely avoid jet lag, there are a number of ways to help your body adjust to a new time zone.

Try to go to bed a little earlier a few days before you leave and get as much sleep as you can during your flight.

Many side-effects of jet lag are the result of dehydration, so avoid alcohol, coffee, tea and other caffeinated beverages and drink plenty of water during your flight.

Eat lightly on your flight and forego rich or exotic foods on the first few days of your trip so that you can use your energy to adjust to your new surroundings rather than digesting food.

Exercising on a long flight will help alleviate such common discomforts as backaches, swollen legs and feet and general fatigue. Stretch at regular intervals and walk up and down the aisles of the plane from time to time to prevent formation of dangerous blood clots.

Finally, take it easy on the day you arrive so that you can take advantage of your trip at a leisurely pace and establish a routine in sync with the local time.

Always include a first-aid kit which includes an analgesic (such as aspirin, tylenol, or motrin), bandaids, sunscreen, and any other medications you regularly require. If you take prescription medication, remember to bring enough for your entire vacation plus two weeks, and be certain to keep it in the original prescription bottle with its label (including name of the drug, prescribing doctor and pharmacy) intact.
