  This is closer to my experience, that playing around with the ratio
  of protein and carbs (what's the theory behind that anyway?)

  My wife and I try to put ourselves on the target-location's time
  before we leave.  This means adjusting our sleeping and meals
  schedule to where we're going several days ahead of time.  It
  helps to keep a clock handy set to the target time-zone.  We also
  try, if possible, to adjust our exposure to light to match the 
  target time-zone.  We're leaving for Sunday this weekend so we'll
  start our adjustments at the end of this week.

Also, would love to hear of any nice hotel recommendations in the

paying for train tickets isn't like using your VISA card at a

  My particular favorite hotel in Yosemite is the Wawona.
  It's over 100 years old and is in the southern end of the
  park.  I've stayed there several times and I've always
  enjoyed it.  Comfort-wise it's pretty comfortable (they have
  several types of accommodations), but there are no phones or
  TVs in the rooms (that may bother some people).

  It's particulary magical at Christmas time.

You're _quite_ not right. The situation improved markedly during the last

generally faster than they make their way between Moscow and Russian

_However_, letters _to_ Russia subject to delays and losses.

There is a good left luggage and locker place at A'dam's
Centraal Station. Since Schipol is directly connected to
this train station and it in only 10 (20 ?) minutes away
then perhaps you may like to enquire about that?
