Read more…The legendary U.S. travel journalist and entrepreneur Arthur Frommer passed away November 18 at the age of 95. Born in Virginia and with an early boyhood in a small town in Missouri, Arthur was a lawyer who became a pioneering and great travel journalist, and who will be remembered as having helped open the joys of travel to the masses. While serving in the U.S. Army in Europe in the 1950s, he got the travel bug, came out with a travel guide for servicemen, and followed up in 1957 with…

Which Athens would that be, Athens, Greece or just Athens, Georgia? If it's the latter, just a four-hour flight so you have no problems recovering from jet-lag. If Athens, Greece, I used to live there and so I know if you're flying from the West Coast it might be good to break your journey on the east coast. Avoid Syntagma and rioters and get out to the islands quickly as soon as you're recovered and done with the city sites.
Sam,
I'm pissed. You're in Nova Scotia and do you call or write? Noooooo. Well.
I handle jetlag by arranging to travel a day early. The moment someone tells me we have an itinerary where "we hit the ground running" I tell them no. You run. I saunter. Fly me in a day early. I need to go to bed and shower. I realized it was necessary to do this in Paris when I fell asleep during an interview.
I find I have enough energy for the trip, but the moment I'm home, I lay on my sofa with a laptop, pile of newspapers and some snacks. I need two days at home to catch up.
I have used the no-jetlag pills and they're pretty good. Otherwise, as soon as I get to a city, it's bed for me. No point fightning it because when I try it drags on for days and makes my time that much less productive.

Here's some tips from very frequent travelers in an inc.com article I recently wrote:

And Nova Scotia is closer in time zone than your stopover at home. In my experience, it's best not to think about the time zone at home, or anywhere except where you are headed, sleep as much as possible on your flights, and when you arrive, exercise outdoors to wake up to your new surroundings. Sounds like a wonderful challenge, actually! Enjoy!
Sam Scribe - your schedule doesn't sound too flexible but, if you can, get out in the fresh air for some light exercise, try eating lightly the first night but drinking lots of fluids and going to bed early. works for me.
No Jet Lag pills work really well for me. You can usually find them in more upscale drug stores (not a Walgreens/CVS level store - at least here in NYC). Ive also seen them at some travel gear stores.
Jet lag problems: Yesterday I returned to California from Nova Scotia, and tomorrow I'm heading to Athens, where I'll have to get right to work -- no naps, no rest. How do you travel writers keep your heads on straight?
Stacey, contact Kristian Sonnier in New Orleans: sonnierk@peteramayercom, 504.481.7933.
Does anyone have contact info for PR person in New Orleans that could help me get accommodations for a story on War of 1812 Bicentennial celebrations?
Ed, Im not a photojournalist, but I am a serious amateur. Adorama sends customers to PhotoTech at 110 East 13th for service. 212-673-8400. They did a great job with my underwater camera, but it was still under warranty so not sure about their pricing.
Photojournalists: Where would you take your camera for repairs in Manhattan?
