| Travel Tips from Kristin at Creaky Joints |
Kristin writes, "I couldn't think of a better way to "recover" from my flare-up from the first half of this summer than my series of vacations over the second half. After spending so much time housebound, I was dying to go just about anywhere, and I was rewarded with vacations to New York City, San Diego, Austin, Boston, and Rhode Island. With so many trips back to back, I tested my endurance and have learned a few tricks to ease the strain of traveling."
