[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are doing an overnight flight and it lands early in the morning, how do you and your family plan the day?

I'm considering dropping off our luggage and taking a bus tour, but I'm worried we might fall asleep, so a more active solution might be better. I'm curious what those of you with experience do. Do you stay active or is relaxing better? Should we just plan to walk around?[/quote]

First, off, we always take night flights and arrive in morning- we try to book an extra night of an Airbnb or hotel so we can shower first thing and be outside during the day on local time. We usually do one thing the first day (museum, beach, go look at a specific monument) but otherwise learn bus system, go to grocery, locate pharmacy, etc. We eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and a light dinner, and then go for a walk around sunset, and are in bed by eight or nine. We then set an alarm for six, and get kids out of bed by 7:30, light breakfast, and get out for the day. For us, this resets our biorhythms. Lots of water, light food, and walking. [/quote]
