Try taking Benadryl (that's what the USAF gave us aviators when were
passengers on a transport or commercial flight when we had long West
to East hops so we could rest and fly awake upon arrive), It actually
works to combat jet lag quite well! Give it a shot!

Bullshark: I'll be diving on the Palau Aggressor in January and look
forward to your full report. I'll also be diving with Sam's when land
based. By the way, did you book PPR your self or did you use a travel
agent. I'm having trouble locating an Agent with contacts at PPR. The
Aggressor office was not able to book the reservation for me.

I'm at the PPR and Sams in February. I basically used the PPR website to book:

http://palau.panpacific.com/

I checked it and there appears to be some availability remaining in January but you'd better hurry!
This hotel is frequented by tourists from Japan whose agencies will ensure it is packed to the gills
by the time your dates roll around.
