TRAVEL TIPS

The sun is beginning to shine (a bit), school is almost done for the summer term and our thoughts are turning towards holidays.  So here are a few more tips, to follow on from last week's blog.....

Travelling to your holiday destination can be physically and emotionally demanding.  Here are a few suggestions to help you arrive at your destination relaxed and raring to go.

Avoid Jet Lag
To help prevent jet lag, go to bed early to make sure you are well rested.  Eat light meals and drink lots of water and fruit juice.  Once on the plane, avoid caffine and alcohol.  Try to sleep during the flight.

Keep Your Feet From Swelling
To prevent your feet and ankles from swelling, wear comfortable loose-fitting shoes and flight sox.  Also keep moving your feet and ankles during the flight

Get The Most From Your Sunscreen
Shake your sunscreen before applying and rub it in well to ensure even coverate.  Wait 10 minutes before swimming, otherwise it will wash off.  Reapply after swimming, perspiring, or drying yourself with a towel.

Dress For Speed
Minimise the airport security hassle by wearing easy to remove shoes.

Protect Your Feet
Pop on a pair of jelly sandles to protect your feet from coral or shell scratches, stones or any other hazards in water.

Wherever you are headed have a great time!
