Plan a Christmas trip wisely

* Arrange a relaxing trip and an easy schedule at your destination.

* Minimize jet lag by arriving close to your usual bedtime, according to your destination time zone.

* Carry your health insurance cards and the phone number of your doctor.

* Avoid wearing tight clothing.

* Check to be sure you carry all of your medications. Diabetics should take an appropriate snack in case of a hypoglycemic attack.

* Avoid traveling alone.
