On the Long Haul
The difference between coming off a 14 hour flight dragging or rearing to go is simple. It is how you prepare for it.
All of us are experienced Globe Trotters and we know that being prepared makes all the difference. The pre-trip orientations are great, but you need to have the basics to make getting there as much fun as being here.
Carry a Personal Comfort Kit with a pillow, a sleep mask, earplugs, lotions, and personal toiletry items. Grab a blanket and pillow as you get onboard.
Dress for comfort on the flight. Comfortable clothes and shoes. Nothing tight, but easy to move around in. Bring a possible change of clothing to arrive fresh.
Plan your own entertainment with cd's, mp3's, games and books.
Move around on the plane. Stretch at your seat and in the aisles. Do not be stagnant.
Drink plenty of fluids, avoid alcohol (Yes, Gene wrote this one). You can bring your own bottled water and snacks. Adjust yourself to the time at your final destination.
Enjoy the flight and the opportunity to develop your friendships. Rest on the flights and be ready to go when the plane arrives.
