"How can public relations pros help freelancers better sell or tell a story?" That's the question some freelancers will try to answer in early June when they appear on a panel at a public relations conference. If you were on that panel, what would you say?
Hi All,
Does anyone know who the media relations person is for Taiwan Tourism in the US?
Thanks,

Finally I can announce that my latest iPad and iPhone application is now out. Lots of info, pics and fun facts about Sydney's past and present. Over 130 places and hundred of pics. Whew!
To get it, download the free Sutro World @ www.sutromedia.com/world (or find Sutro World on iTunes App store).
THEN sort by name: Sydney's Living History - AND click the price in the upper right corner and watch it download.
Hi Guys hope you’re all geared for INDABA see you there. We are in the ICCJ008 EcoTraining
I'm up early today, but that's what happens when you cross too many time zones too quickly.
Before I left for the first of these back-to-back trips to places with two different climates, I packed two separate bags so I wouldn't have to worry about it on the one day I had between flights. Would you have done the same?
It's Greece, Hal, and I'm on my way. It's too bad, but I'll have no time for the islands: I'll conduct interviews for a few days and then fly straight home for some more jet lag. No time for getting out, either, as Judy suggests, although that's good advice. Allan, sorry I didn't have time to drop in on you in Nova Scotia and burrow through your wine cellar. Your rules of travel (arrive a day earlier, get some rest) are the ones I usually follow, and this round of trips reminds me why. Gerri, your article on business travel tips is the most comprehensive one I've ever read. Baseball cap, ambien, e-reader... spot on. But jetlag pills? SuitcaseReady, they don't work for me either.
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.
Allan (normally in Nova Scotia, but in Quebec City right now)
