2. If you're travelling by plane, avoid caffeine. Opt for water instead of caffeinated drinks and sugary juices and sodas. 3. On the plane, make sure you get a chance to stretch. When the seatbelt sign is off, get up, go to the bathroom, take a quick walk. If you stop in an airport, use the time to stretch your legs and arms. Turn your neck side to side to stretch, shrug your shoulders, touch your toes. 4. Make sure you stretch even if you're on a bus or in the car. Make a stop and stretch! 5. Carry lotion with you. Planes and air conditioned vehicles can be very drying. Apply moisturizer regularly and drink water to keep yourself hydrated. 6. If you're driving and are sleepy, don't try to keep going. Pull over and sleep. It's better to get there late and intact. 7. Get your sleep even on the plane - don't deny yourself that by reading and watching movies or tv. Ask for a pillow and/or a blanket, lean your seat back, and go to sleep. Use music if you need it. 8. Finally, make sure you're eating well. The food may not be the best, so make sure you have some extra munchies in your bag (a granola bar, etc.). You can carry preserved, packed foods with you. Carry gum to chew. If you're not ready to eat, ask the air attendant to bring you your meal later (tell them when). If you're going by car or bus, take any stop as a chance to eat food. It's a good idea to pack some sandwiches from home. Avoid caffeine because you'll have to stop frequently for the bathroom.
