"First Off, I love your newsletter! It always has some pretty cool tips and its definitely not like most of the emails I get! Its so fun to see an email from someone other than my Bank with my monthly statement! Your Healthy Travel newsletter could not have come at a better time! I just booked my flight for Ireland! So being healthy is one of my major concerns especially being on a long flight! I look forward to the next couple of segments on Healthy Travel and it never crossed my mind that I should drink extra water the couple of days before my trip! Thanks for all your helpful ideas- it has helped motivate me to get back in shape!"
