not that hard, I know people that have it tough
What about Jet-Lags?
yes, I get them sometimes. flying is not a healthy thing
Do you fly on first class or regular? Do you eat the food on the plane?
if it's less than three hours I fly regular class and I fly business other wise, it helps out a lot. now that there is terror-alert every other day it's hard to bring food! specially in the states. there is of course a lot of crap when you fly, but there is also some okay food.

no. but I try to eat clean food and I don't buy chicken or cow, don't drink milk and I support organic food.
