Most people go on a 2 week vacation and it takes 2 days to adjust to the environment, then returning home it takes another 2 days.

Imagine traveling day in and day out on their schedule listed below (I can't). The help they require (people doing the packing and unpacking) does help them, but still their bodies takes on the stress of time adjustments needed for their performance. I don't want to be too negative, but it is a reality.
