Kat Medina is an entrepreneur, world traveler, public speaker, and author of the book "The Joys of Jet Lag."
Jet lag is a thing, and people who travel by plane for many hours through different time zones to reach their destination, can or will suffer from it.
It is not pleasurable, however, the art of dealing with it can help in other ways. For example, it can help us be tolerant, accepting, and understanding of people in foreign lands around the world. We will be guests in their country, a place that is likely to have different customs and way life from us.
As Kat describes her book, "How to use a traveler's mindset to not be an A-hole in daily life."

On a positive note, it is all educational, and will help us to respect our fellow human beings in the rest of the world.

Collectively, the Travel Addict had 5 education talks to perform and in addition, by special request from a few pssengers, they wanted to hear an explanation of the rules of cricket.
An abbreviated version it was to be, which is borderline giberish, however presents a brief and somewhat humorous explanation of one of the worlds oldest and most popular sports.
Add in addition, a quick overview of the islands visited.
Island hop or take a cruise ship folks, depending on what time you have. Lots to see and do. 
Stay active or stay relaxed.

I had a speaking gig on a cruise ship around Asia for 2 weeks, so I thought I would extend it for a week before and after. Presenting to people from the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australasia, and Africa was fullfilling and it was just great to be in an environment where humans from many parts of the world all got along with each other wonderfully well. 
Apart from presenting some history, geography, and cultural facts about countries in Asia, I decided to take on an extreme challenge and climb to Tigers Nest Monastery for the 2nd time, however I was now 9 years older.
The great news is that I made it without passing out or falling off the mountain along the way, 
It's a very tough and strenuous trek up steep slopes in a rocky terrain.
The reward for reaching this iconic building is a feeling of substantial achievement and enlightenment, at one of the most sacred places on planet earth.
I visited the following:

• Makati, Philippines,
• Hong Kong, China
• Bhutan in the Himalayan Mountains
• Chiang Rai, Thailand
• Old Phuket Town, Thailand

Fantastic experience. 
Go to Asia folks.

Alastair Henry did something not many people would think about doing when retiring in his 60s.
He did volunteer work in Bangladesh, Guyana, and Jamaica. He also did his share of backpacking around the world, an activity normally associated with the younger generation.
This is a prime example of "You are never too old for adventure", which is also a title of one of my presentation topics.
He did surprise me when he stated that more people than we think do these commendable activities, even when they are in the latter part of their lives.
Take note everyone. Life is short.
Check out his web site and books:
