A Travel Agent's hacks to avoiding jet lag:

As a frequent jumper through time zones,  I have had my fair share of jet lagged days. While this is normal to experience, it does nothing for the fact that it can certainly put a cramp in one's jet setting.

So to help you, my fellow travelers, I have compiled a few of my go - to hacks / preventative measures for combatting jet lag. Whether you're just dropping back a few hours, or a whole day, these are sure to help you make it a memorable trip without the fog of time zone adjustment.
  1. Gradually adjust your sleep schedule, if possible. Although this strategy is rarely feasible in my opinion, I do try to adjust my behaviors on my travel days. Say I'm leaving at 4pm to head to Paris I will try to sleep as much as I can on the plane to help my body adjust to the day once I land on the ground.
  2. Get sunlight exposure:. Spend time outdoors in natural sunlight upon arrival at your destination, especially in the morning, to help reset your internal clock and signal to your body that it's time to be awake!!
  3. Stay hydrated and circulated :: Dehydration can exacerbate feelings of fatigue and jet lag. I always bring lots of LiquidIV or any kind of beverage full of electrolytes. Natural sources of energy are helpful too, I like to bring amino acids! In addition to maintaining your hydration; keeping your blood properly circulating during this jarring change to routine can help with the adjustment. I rely on compression socks for travel days and often at night during my travels to help combat swelling.
  4. Take short naps if you just can't push thru.  Short naps can help alleviate feelings of fatigue. But be sure to limit naps to 20-30 minutes and no later than 3pm to allow for a restful night's sleep.
  5. Consider using melatonin or sleepy time teas. Try to also adhere to a 'bed time routine' like pulling back the covers, limiting lights and distractions, maybe even some white noise!
I hope this tips help you become a better traveler and fight that nasty reality punch that is, jet lag!

 

Bon Voyage

First Trip to Disney World

We worked with Alena for our first trip to Disney recently, and I truly don’t think we would have ever done it without her help! Planning for Disney can feel quite overwhelming if you’ve never been, but she helped us each step of the way. All of her recommendations from the hotel to restaurants were spot on! Highly recommend her for your Disney trip planning.

Alaska Dream Trip
Alaska Dream Trip

Thank you for helping us plan an Alaska trip of a lifetime!  We had an amazing trip, that I will be recommending to everyone I know.

The flightseeing with glacier landing was unbelievable, and we hit the 2nd river run of sockeye salmon perfectly!!  Almost took the guide longer to fillet the fish that it did to catch them.
