We even tried tart Montmorency cherries, which apparently contain Melatonin and were touted as a "natural" jet lag cure back in the early 2000s. In fact, we were carrying a bag of them from Costco when we encountered vigilant Australian border agricultural inspectors who wanted to make sure they were not cranberries. They didn't do a lot of good and for the most part we haven't experienced significant problems. The reality is that we experience jet lag even when we stay home so we're fairly philosophical about it, but this rather leisurely itinerary presented a challenge. Maybe we need to pack some Melatonin for our upcoming trip, or else try to convince our grandson that all Europeans take a daily two-hour nap after lunch! Enjoy your cruise. That is one of the most civilized ways to tour Europe.

You can buy a year's supply (even for the amount you both travel!) at Costco for under $20 and it works wonders in getting you to sleep and keeping you sufficiently drowsy that you don't have the dreaded 1am wake-up when flying to Europe.Dazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873624665138655719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1891818176039954311.post-14779005146484674912024-03-07T00:23:41.860-08:002024-03-07T00:23:41.860-08:00Castle Hill is a lovely part of the city.Castle Hill is a lovely part of the city.Kathy and Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02940596079048730542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1891818176039954311.post-37076253046311970752024-03-06T12:51:40.073-08:002024-03-06T12:51:40.073-08:00Always so interesting to see these spectacular sit...Always so interesting to see these spectacular sites… thank youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1891818176039954311.post-8184165672700001062024-03-06T06:40:57.116-08:002024-03-06T06:40:57.116-08:00And it sounded as good as it looked.And it sounded as good as it looked.Kathy and Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02940596079048730542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1891818176039954311.post-43916427296350468002024-03-06T06:39:33.097-08:002024-03-06T06:39:33.097-08:00What a magnificent venue…..
