What to pack
Pack a while ahead. Most of the time you'll be most comfortable in light, summer-weight clothes but do pack a warm jacket, socks, good shoes and a rain jacket. Pack sunscreen - lots of it - and a hat and sunglasses. Make sure you have at least one cool shirt with a collar for sun protection. Bring good walking shoes.
If you're spending time watching game, you should try to wear reasonably neutral colours. You don't need formal clothes, but you will need something pretty smart for exclusive hotels and some venues. If you've forgotten anything - don't panic you can buy whatever you need - probably at a good price.
And pack a camera - you'll want to save your wonderful memories. You can buy film anywhere,
and camera batteries in any city.
When you pack your bag please bear in mind the luggage restrictions of 12kg (26lbs) on light aircraft transfers and 20kg (44lbs) on scheduled airline flights. One carry-on bag is allowed as hand luggage - not exceeding 7 kg (15lbs).
The First Thing to do when you get off a Long Flight:
How to adjust quickly (and stay healthy) while traveling
1. First: Resist the urge to snooze. No matter where you are going, no matter what time you get there, stay up until midnight local time. If you absolutely can't keep your eyes open, it's OK to take a short nap. Just make sure you don't sleep for more than a couple of hours. And try to get into your normal routine as soon as possible. Get up when you usually do, and try to eat your meals, exercise, and go to bed at your regular times.
2. Then: Drink plenty of water as dehydration occurs whilst flying. And, for the first day, don't eat anything with heavy sauces or anything that your body is going to have to work extra-hard to digest. Fruit, raw vegetables, and salads are all good choices.
