Want to have a great foreign trip , but don’t want to spend a fortune? Here are my best tips for surviving jet lag , staying hydrated and saving time and money. Take a red eye. They’re cheaper because no one wants to fly at night, but in terms of jet lag, they’re your friend. Yes, the next day you’re dragging your sorry behind around after being up all night on the plane, but when you finally crash at the end of the day, you’ll be able to sleep no matter where you are. Get going right away. On your first day, after you arrive on your red eye, make sightseeing plans that same afternoon. Otherwise you might be tempted to just collapse and sleep all day, and that will only make your jet lag worse. However, don’t plan your most important sights that day, because you’re going to be groggy. We hired a private guide to take us around Havana, Cuba on our first day, after arriving at 9 a.m. She picked us up at 1 p.m., after we had a chance to shower and a short nap. We were too tired for mus...

I am an old man in his sixtieth year. I have entered that decade of life which destroys the last illusion and beyond which lies death, swift or lingering, actuarial or real. I am also poor, incontrovertibly, humiliatingly poor, for the first time in my life. My total annual income , from a modest pension ($1980) and the interest ($168.75) from an equally modest savings account , is 6 percent of what I earned in my prime-and less than two thirds of the property tax I once paid on a five-bedroom home with swimming pool in Westchester County, New York. I am divorced and living alone in an alien city of 800,000 strangers. My aging body betrays me day by day; the ground I am losing now I lose forever. So I perceived myself, at any rate, when the plane from a foreign country dropped me in San Diego one night seven months ago. Behind me stretched an aimless, six-year, expatriate trail through the South Seas, Asia, and Latin America that began when divorce and its inevitable byproducts-seco...

Natives know where to go for a real San Francisco experience : the city's neighborhoods. What better way to make family and friends comfortable than to have them stay close by in one of Noe Valley's guesthouses. While many local guesthouses and bed-and-breakfasts have been hit by the current economic slump --and by the competition from a drop in downtown hotel prices --the good news is guests no longer have to book six months in advance and can sometimes negotiate a lower room rate . Still, most guesthouses report business is steady, at least on the weekends. In Noe Valley we are fortunate to have a mix of lodgings that serve a wide range of needs. You can find a cottage with handicapped access for grandparents, several places that welcome children, or a quiet room in a house, for a friend. In this survey, which updates our B&B roundups in the June 1997 and May 1999 issues, the Voice uncovered a variety of hospitality styles: a European- style tourist home , a fully furn...
