Bon Voyage

Bon Voyage

Bon voyage to Alan Whicker, veteran TV journalist, writer and undisputed godfather of the travel documentary, who died today.  I once asked him for his personal tip on dealing with jet lag.  The answer, he assured me with that nasal tone of his,  was simplicity itself.   “Get on the plane…order a very large Scotch  & soda…keep ‘em coming throughout the flight…and go to bed when you arrive.  When you wake-up you’ll feel terrible but then jet lag would have done that for you anyway.  And this way you at least enjoyed the flight.”
