Jet lag is a tired, run down feeling that often make you feel like you are sick and is caused by your body’s reaction to a change in time zones.
When you travel to a time zone significantly different to the one you are used to, sometimes you body has a hard time dealing with new sleeping, eating and activity patterns.
Try and get as much sleep as possible while on your flight and upon arrival, adjust to local time immediately by eating and sleeping at the same time the locals do – this should help relieve the effects of jet-lag and help you get over it faster.

My best advice is to step outside your comfort zone and make an effort to talk to EVERYONE on tour. I made friends from 6 continents on the one tour!!!
The trolley tour of Boston, offered as an optional, is the best way to see the entire city. Take it at your own pace, but I would suggest stopping off at the USS Constitution and Fenway.
MOMA is well worth a visit, and if you're short on cash, has free entry between 4pm-8pm on Friday nights. It does get very crowded though...
