HELSINKI, May 27, 2015 /CNW/ – Every global traveler knows how jet lag feels. It kills productivity. Jet lag is the sleepy mid-day meeting when it’s difficult to keep focused, and it’s waking up at the wrong time in a hotel room, not able to re-charge. Jet lag is getting back home a week later, not able to be a great company and partner with friends and family, or to perform at work. HumanCharger (www.humancharger.com), the revolutionary new travel companion spells the end for jet lag by helping travelers make softer landings to new time zones – twice as fast.
So you’ve planned your holiday or weekend break, booked the hotel and you’re all set. But what if the hotel drops its price? What if there’s a better room for the same price – or even cheaper?

Well fret no more – there’s DreamCheaper.com to save you time and money! They’ve found a way to help everyone get a better deal. DreamCheaper searches for cheaper prices on the same room or better – and then re-books your hotel reservation for you.
Last year we made a special trip to Battle Ground, Indiana (less than an hour from downtown Indianapolis – off Interstate 65, just outside of Lafayette), to visit one thing that had been on our ‘bucket list’ since the day we met…Wolf Park [WolfPark.org]. It took us 8 hours of driving to get there – but it was worth every minute. Read about our experience at Wolf Park HERE What we didn’t expect on our journey was the wonderful city of Auburn, Indiana. We stopped in Auburn for a coffee break – only to discover there are a number of auto and air museums there, if you love cars and/or planes – this is your mecca. You simply MUST take the time to visit Auburn, or even make it an actual trip destination.
For most of us flying on a private jet would be the ultimate Bucket List thing to do, but did you realize it just might be closer than you think? Check out this infographic… could one be in your future?
