11 Power Tips to Recover From Jet Lag: The Healing Approach

by

Aerial View of Queenstown, New Zealand

I freaking love traveling the world. My husband LOVES using Expert Flyer to book our trips and get us fantastic deals, but jet lag, oh jet lag confuses the living daylights out of me!

I don’t mean the effect of jet lag on my body or brain because that alone can drive you dizzy with confusion. I mean I wish someone could explain to me why traveling from  from North America to the South Pacific, where one loses many hours in timezone difference, does not cause me much jet lag at all but coming home leaves me dazed and foggy for a week!

Our trip routes were as such:

12 Apostles in Melbourne Australia

I have been in Australia for a week now, a beautiful unforgettable week here in Melbourne, a lovely laid-back city that has everything you could need plus an easy, happiness-inducing feeling about it. Yesterday, we drove to see the 12 Apostles. The pictures in this post are from the scene of these stunning rock formations along the south coast of Melbourne. The inspiration from this post was not just by luck. It came straight from the wind and the sound of the waves crashing against these rocks.

Indispensable Pro Travel Planning Tools

London Bus - City Sights and Sounds

Despite my travel record, what with 100,000 flying miles last year again to get executive platinum and my love affair with setting foot on foreign soil, you might find it ironic that I am mainly a novice when it comes to travel tools, hacks, and systems!

I love planning the sight-seeing, the shopping, the photography, and the social meet-ups with my international friends and family but I confess I would not be all over the map ever so smoothly without my brilliantly travel-tech savvy agent, who also plays the role of husband when not researching and planning our wonderful travels.

Musings on London, The Tempest and A Regret-Free Life

by

TheTempest_RalphFiennes

Two hours ago, I was in a small jam-packed London theater, joining in on a much-deserved standing ovation to the cast of Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Some of the finest Shakespearean actors, most notably Ralph Fiennes, indulged us tonight with an unforgettably moving performance.

Pleasure, sadness, delight and joy, smiles and tears, deep reflection and thrilling sensations, these are only some of the emotions that come alive as you bask in the awe of a fine actor bringing to life a character from a 400-year old play.
