[Avoid jetlag and airsickness] Respect the local customs
Some countries, especially in the Middle East and Asia, dress more conservatively than we do. You shouldn't wear shorts or sleveless tops in these places, so ensure you have some other forms of clothing packed in your bag. It is also handy to have a long-sleeved top packed in your daypack - places like St Peters Cathedral in Rome require you to cover your arms when entering the building. You don't want to miss out on the opportunity to see such fabulous places just because you don't have the right top with you!

Flying internationally causes jetlag because of the fact that you are crossing several time zones. Some precautions to take include: - Drink plenty of water and consume no alcohol - Stick to a bland diet. - Adjust your watch according to your destination's time clock and attempt to adhere to your arrival schedule (the sooner, the better) - Take some sleeping pills on the long flight over - sleep is golden and you'll be thankful for it when you arrive.
