But not only because of jetlag, also because they simply did “too much” the days before. MaDonna, I wish you a short jet lag and a great start into 2015! 😉

We do the same, usually: we try to keep the same rythm during the day, i.e. more or less the time we get up in the morning etc., but when we visit or have guests, this changes… But (trying) to get back into gear a few days beforehand saved is something we do to. And I must confess that I do need this, two days before all starts again to get into the right mood and avoid the shock 😉

We are ending our vacation with the in-laws in a few days. We’ll be fighting jet lag when we return, but since my kids are school age and they go to school – this will help all of us. HA!

I think first of all we don’t deviate too far away from the routine even during the hols. We still get up together, have breakfast together and follow similar evening routines. Only the kids not going to school changes really. That said, there are slips and relaxation of rules I guess so as term approaches again we start getting back into gear a few days beforehand so the shock of routine again isn’t too unbearable!
